RSS Research exploration program on track..

Finally I come to a solution that I'm happy with (I think :sticktongue: )...

After many aborted launches and modifications... we're green to go...

61 Ton command module arrived at a 400Km orbit with 5% to spare in the last tank (the one at the back - the other tank is full of 'galoobies').

I'll keep the tank in case the next 4 attachments don't arrive on a full tank.

Oh yes.. I managed a perfect moon alignment orbit - flaming miracle it is

Edt: Checked alignment - OK call me a liar for 0.3 degrees - not bad for manual flight (enjoyed that)

Anyway docked the first of 4 ships - loaded with goodies and 'planetary playthings'

KSP did the honours and wiped out my user... take a deep breath.. count to ten!!!

Luckily I'd saved the user with my stuff about 2 versions previously - 're-spawn' my user.

Back to rebuilding, some adjustments but the major one was reducing my launch rocket by one stage (+-200 tons).. and we're back in action.

Cmd module in a 'perfectly' round orbit - Come to realise that this is essential for the follow up craft to dock.

First engine module docked - got my intersection distance down to 600m on my 4th orbit adjust :cool:

Docking went like a dream..just moved in first time and docked (no running around in circles :sticktongue: )
