How do I go from observing my rockets in Kerbin orbit to the Tracking Center? How do I get back to observing my rockets?

Hi KSP colleagues,

Right now I have two rockets orbiting Kerbin.  I would like to see their progress in the Tracking Center.  By accident I have managed to do this in the past.  But then, once I have gotten to the Tracking Center, I never know how to get back to observing my rockets.

Could someone please explain how to do this -- get to the Tracking Center and then get back.

Thank you.

From the tracking station there should be a list of your active ships down the left hand side of the screen. The appearance of ships depends on what icons you've selected from the top of the screen filter.  

To go back to one of your active ships just select it on the left hand side and you should see the options to "recover",  "terminate", or "fly". Chose fly and you will be loaded back into your ship.

Hi Caerfinon,

Thank you for your message.

Sorry to be so dense, but how to I get to the Tracking Center?

Either click on the tracking station or, when in flight, press escape and choose 'go to tracking station'.

OK.  Thank you, @modus.  I should have been able to figure that out.
