Guest Bronynaut Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hey gaiz! Im so excited. I made orbit for the 1st time and this is the most exciting moment of ma summer! Take a look at this picture from orbit around kerbal from ponyville's newest and best capsule that holds one kerbin!i used mechanical jeb to get into orbit. I set it for 100km. I can teach u how to get into orbit too if you want me to. the mechjeb setting aren't to hard. also, when will my orbit "decay"? I was looking up the ISS and it says the orbitslowly decays. Well. my capsule has no rockets so to get back, i have to let the orbit decay.how long will that take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bedlam Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Great! Now do it without Mechjeb. Kerbin differs from Earth in that your orbit doesn't decay above 70km, where Kerbin's atmosphere suddenly and completely ends. You need to do a deorbit burn (align to retrograde and burn until your periapsis is sufficiently below 70km for Kerbin to pull you in) to get back. I'm afraid you'll have to send a rescue mission for poor Alvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trollmylove Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 not to be rude but you had to relay on mechjeb, JUST TO GET YOU INTO ORBIT???... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexx32 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hey, calm down. We were all newbs once. @OP:Now, you need to try getting into orbit with enough fuel and engines to get to and land on the Mun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalkingofgames Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 ksp is an alpha so orbits just decay , use a mechjeb to rendezvous with it to bring it down , or watch this or if your feeling cruel just eva and de-orbit you kerbaland watch him fly into the ground at 5000m/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsalis Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 That orbit you have will not decay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
