AeroPelican Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I am not able to try this but I believe it is possible to launch a space station into a geosynchronous orbit using mechjeb, then get another craft into a geosynchronous orbit, and theoretically they should be close together. I think the weight difference of the two craft would affect how close they get but it should work. Can someone try this, I am on holiday ATM.

neistridlar Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Although it may be impractical, it might just work, given you fly almost identically both times. Have to try this (without mechjeb though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmo-not Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Yes, this makes sense as long as you fly the two craft with identical flight profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroPelican Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 I will try it ASAP, though I am in Dubai, a long way from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khrissetti Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Surely if your orbit varies by even as much as a couple of metres, they will slowly drift apart from or into one another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
