What did you do in KSP1 today?
So, what did you do in KSP today? I'm working on my project to touch down on every object in the system without mechjeb, so everything is done by hand. I launched a rocket (Project D-Man)to Duna yesterday and today I landed on Duna . After taking off, I realized that I could land on Ike too. This way I don't have to visit the Duna-system again. However - it seems I did a slight miscalculation and only reached Ike orbit....with a 30 km apoapsis. So, I converted a space-tug I had in storage into
That's what I thought, too. I tried reducing the orbit of the rescue vessel and dropping in a maneuver node to find a better (and sooner) intercept but the timing and delta-v weren't working out. This vessel was not going to make it.
So I rolled another rescue vessel out to the pad and went with a fast-launch approach: point a little ahead of the target, burn hard to come up undernearth, circularize, and try to catch up.
The first intercept had about 6 km of
