Pseudonoob question about asteroid's rendezvous.


Recommended Posts

I got three heliocentric satellites with SENTINEL Infrared Telescopes on them for tracking asteroids near Kerbin, but I only can see on the map several fancy interrogative signs and the class of the asteroids around the planet. How can I see the orbital trajectory of this objects and how do I reach them? Thanks.

And reaching them is mighty tricky. Most of the tracked asteroids enter Kerbin's SOI at some point in their orbit. So once you are tracking them, you look at their trajectories and see when they will be within the SOI -- and then you launch whatever kind of probe you want, to be out in about that same area at that same time. Set the asteroid as your target, and do a classic rendezvous with it.
