Contract: Bring a Newly Discovered Class A Asteroid Into An Orbit Around Kerbin I have spent the better part of the day going through a few video tutorials on intercepting asteroids including this nice tutorial . For a Class A asteroid that is on a collision trajectory with Kerbin, I have been unsuccessful in intercepting the asteroid and a lot of the information out there seems tailored around capturing asteroids that will not impact or get very close to Kerbin. My current procedure is the following: 1. I have built a big rocket 2. I launch matching the inclination of the target asteroid 3. I circularize my orbit *4. Create a new maneuver node and attempt to line up intercept points on target asteroid. <-- This fails I seem to not be able to get intercept points to closely match up. Question 1. What is the best way to setup an intercept for an Asteroid of this type, where the target will impact or get very close to Kerbin? 2. How close should the intercept be? I have performed rescue missions and rendezvous docking without much trouble, my main problem with this contract is being able to get an intercept that is close enough. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
