MechJeb Launch:

*Launch,

*force roll 90°,

*gravity turn East starting at 1km or 100 m/s, ending at 35km on a 40.6% launch angle.

*Stage when necessary.

Landing Guidance by Mark7

1. Wait till the shuttle is on the opposite side of the KSC and its orbit is right passing over the KSC.

2. Do the re-entry burn. Make sure the final landing prediction 5400+_300km ahead from the target landing site.(The exact number is depending on the velocity of the shuttle when backing into atmosphere)

3. When re-entry, keep a 30-degree-AOA ,and roll left or right to adjust the trajectory.

4. Enjoy(or suffer haha)

Typical Launch and Return Mission

Well, after years in the development proverbial hellhole, congrats on getting this to the release page!

Finally. Now to update my SSP from 1.7.6 (breaking my ships in the process)

[Mike-NZ]

I would say land them before installing update to save kerbals

thanks. it has had its ups and downs alright

[Bev7787]

I realised I had a video which showcased the mod, but it was a KSP recreation. Should you put it in the OP?

[Mike-NZ]

I would love to see it and show it on the page

[Bev7787]

Ok

[Mike-NZ]

thanks! hey I commented on this a while ago on youtube already. it is awesome!

[montyben101]

Great! Glad to see its finished. Do you want me to do the launch guide too? If someone can give me a good way of making one I would be more than happy!

or add text to this for an easy to follow guide

Hmm I had bigger thoughts, I was thinking a much more fleshed out guide which showed shuttle stats (payload to LKO ect.) and how to dock, land, launch ect. I was also going to put in photos and diagrams ect. I'll start working on it now actually Anyone got the full shuttle stats?

We could of course have a quick start guide and a full in-depth guide!

[Mike-NZ]

also if someone can tell me how to do a wiki...

so the average person can keep on top of their shuttles servicing needs!

[montyben101]

Yeah... Had that thing saved to my phone once and went though it while I was on the bus (sometimes a 45 min journey) I think this one will be like 8 pages max

[XxDARKWOLF67Xx]

Glad to see css is still going

should probably update now

[Bev7787]

I've got a sort of mechjeb guide. It gets the fuel tank to orbit however.

Launch, force roll 90°, gravity turn East starting at 1km or 100 m/s, ending at 35km on a 40.6% launch angle. Stage when necessary.

thats what worked for me in the vid

The End effector acts as a magnet. Move the effector to the object, turn on the magnet (right click effector and switch magnet on) and boom!

Its recommended to map the magnet switch to an action group.

If I get this arm to work, building the ISS will be a whole lot easier. Will try to use it tomorrow.
