LaydeeDem Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Those darn Kommies have stuck a poor doggie in an eliptical orbit around Kerbin! >It\'s your mission to bring Laika home! You must capture Laika\'s pod, and bring it back intact. Her pod does not have a parachute. You must ensure the survival of both capsules.Save file and mod part attached below.http://www./?fqt22ow9ze4xwed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockingking Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 This is probably the most interesting challenge I\'ve ever seen here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superD Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 got anything against communists? >i suspect most people do, and anyway, it\'s just a pretend backstory for a nigh impossible retrieval mission. seriously, that thing is tiny, no way i\'m going to be able to rendezvous with it, much less grab it. unless someone has a tool that works better than Mechjeb for getting close to things.

mockingking Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Use MechJeb, and then use some more MechJeb. Use Time Launch to Rendezvous; that will get you within 3 kilometers of Laika. Then use the Rendezvous module, +TGT, +TGT, +TGT (and be fast about it, I suppose), then grab the dog, and get back into the Atmosphere to pop some parachutes.Or that\'d be my theory. I might test it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

togfox Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 The KGSS Journal #2 (with credit to Kosmos-not) has an article on rendevous made easy. 8)http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=15705.0The method can be extrapolated for any distance/orbit.
