From the Mun - Circularize Orbit Step

[Wanderhoof]

During the "From the Mun" training mission, I get to the Circularize step, perform my burn at the assigned node to circularize my Munar orbit to the required parameters, and then... nothing.  The "Next" button in the mission dialog box remains 'grayed out', and I cannot continue to the next step of the mission.

I have tried and retried this mission several times, and it always gets stuck at the same point.  The mission parameter requirements state that I need to get my Periapsis no lower than 5km than my Apoapsis; I've managed to get my Periapsis to within approx. 850m (well under 1km) of Apoapsis.  Still, no luck.

 

Conceptually, I understand the process of returning to Kerbin orbit from Munar orbit, but I really, really want to finish this (and all) training mission.  I've Googled for information on this particular mission, but it seems the only thing that comes up is the landing mission, not the leaving mission that I am stuck on. Help, please?

I think what you need to continue is the green tick on the manoeuvre node that he creates for you. I just tried it and when the burn gets down to the last 50 m/s cut the throttle and just use small throttle inputs with shift/ctrl and chase the blue marker on the nav-ball if (when) it starts moving. Once the burn required number gets down to a few m/s it should give you the green tick.

Oh my goodness (oh my Kerbalness?), thank you so much!!!  This worked the absolutely first time I tried it!  I was so focused on my apoapsis and peroapsis that I don't think I ever thought to keep an eye on the burn required meter. *facepalm*  You are a total (Kerbal) life saver!

Thank you Long Finger! I was stuck at that part too just now. I hadn't noticed the green check mark on the side of the delta-V meter before. Thanks again for the advice!
