  1. D'oh. Thanks guys! Heading was the problem... going full speed ahead in the wrong direction. Luckily I put quite a lot of surplus fuel on that probe, enough to flip the orbit. After that it was rather easy to finish.
  2. Hi All, I'm new to the forum and new to the game also (started about two weeks ago). So, Beta crashed right into my learning phase. So far, I like it, but now I got a mission which seemingly can't finish: The mission ist to "Position satellite in specific orbit of the Mun". I've got two of the three criteria checked: launching a new probe and maintaining stability for ten seconds. What doesn't check is: "Reach the designated orbit around the Mun with minimal deviation". I've done everything to come as close to the orbit as possible: Apoapsis is 1,509,130m vs 1,509,845m target. Periapsis is 1,417,300m vs. 1,417,845 target. Inclination is as far matched as possible, if there's any deviation left, it's not visible on the map. Periapsis and Apoapsis are with in 3 Minutes of target, while the whole orbit takes 2d, 2h, 40m. Thats about 0.35% deviation. With that large an orbit I can't get any closer, even the shortest, slightest burn makes apoapsis or periapsis jump by about 1km. So, all in all I'm lost. The only explanation I can come up with is, that the orbit tolerance of the mission must be defined in absolute and not in relative terms, so it becomes unplayable with large numbers. Any other ideas? Am I missing something?
