Cryphonus Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 How to make a very accurate shooting for Kerbin i mean a direct intersect with Kerbin, I always miss and had to spend extra fuel to get back to the Kerbin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endeavour Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Always return opposite to the Mun\'s orbit. Patched conics will tell you what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryphonus Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Ok, here we go. I\'m a noob. So, I\'ve said it. What are patched conics?Patched conics show your trajectory after you change a SOI (Sphere of Influence). For example when you are on the Mun and you burn to return to Kerbin your trajectory on the current SOI will be blue. Your trajectory after you change your SOI will be yellow. Thats patched conics.I am not too good with explanations sorry about that :-[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
