I have docked again!


Recommended Posts

If you are thinking: This guy docked in LKO, that's nothing new!
But no! I took a step further, to the Mun! On a 97° degree inclination!
And it took me a lot of burns to just get in there.
Here's my pics

Spoiler


1. Here's me approaching the docking port.

This thing will lead to new ideas and rescue! :)

good job on self-improving. I remember when i had troubles docking.

Now my most difficult docking has been in a kerbin hyperbolic escape trajectory, between a ship coming from Jool and directed to a series of gravity assist to eventually reach Duna, and another ship coming from Eeloo on a fast high energy trajectory, bound to escape the kerbol system altogether unless stopped. There were 3000 m/s of speed difference between the ships, and the small one - the one that could actually make the manuever - was running on low thrust ion engines, so it needed to start manuevering hours before.

When I first started playing, docking seemed impossible and I nearly rage-quit. I watched and read all the tutorials and advice I could find on it. Now I can dock virtually anything, anywhere. I can even swing the docking ship around with ease if the ports are not facing each other. This comes in handy when equipped and using the grabber and you need to align to center mass.

 

As a suggestion, maybe practice with the grabber for a while, since it is very forgiving as far as where on the other ship you touch? Definitely whatever you do, keep going! ;p
