Rescueing a cupola module

[jak888]

Hi everyone,

I couldn't find an answer to this anywhere on the web, so I decided to log in and ask here.

I'm playing KSP in career mode and I took on a mission to rescue "Digela Kerman" (Don't know if these names are randomized or not). I built my rescue ship and went up there to see what's going on (is there a way to find this out from base?). Apparently Digela's wreckage is a single cupola module floating in space. How do I Rescue it? From close up it look like I could dock with the crew hatch at the bottom of the module, which I've tried to no success. Do I have to take it down with a klaw? I don't have the klaw yet.

How can I shoot this thing down and collect the reward?

Does it specify that you need to return the capsule as well? Because if it doesn't you can just get within render distance (2.5km I believe), switch over to the cupola using the square brackets ( these [ ]), go on EVA and spacewalk over to the ship. Make sure to bring a spare seat for...her?

try switiching to that vessel and evaing the kerbal and put that kerbal in your ship (make sure there is a empty module )

Thanks guys that was just it! I managed to gain control over her wreck and EVA her over. I have tried [] before but it didn't work, since I have a german keyboard layout. \ seems to be the one.

Good news: Digela is now part of my crew- with a full stupidity meter.

Im not 100% sure, but I think there is a maximum distance of 2.5-3.0 kilometers for when you can take over another vessel. Just get close enough and you can do it.

2250m is what I think the precise value of boundary
