Stock Space Station with Docking Capabilites

[christheman200]

Today, I present to you my challenge of docking two spacecraft together using landing gear as the claws and an ncs adapter as the point to latch onto.

One particular problem it seems is that once docked you may only be docked on for a few seconds and time warping seems to make this problem even worse, so you only have to dock once and take a picture/video of it and it does not have to stay on any longer.

Rules:

-Stock parts only gives you extra points for me but all mods are allowed

-You may only do this in 0.16

-You only have to dock once and for a very short amount of time

-mechJEB is allowed but more points for you if you don't use it

-Have fun!

You can learn how to adjust your orbit to rendezvous and dock through this video:

I did this myself, although for some reason I didn't think to record the bit of me actually docking with my satellite. My LP episode 2:

it wil un dock if i time warp but otherwise docking on the adv. sas units on a nosecone is stable. i can even get away with manovering a little.

Well, we cant really hack into your computer to get to that picture to see it..... why not attach it to a post on the forum instead?

ohh yer that would probably help sorry still a little new to this

Changed it so that you CAN use mods now but the challenge is still mainly about doing it with stock parts.

I did this a couple of days ago, shortly after the release of 0.16

Pretty difficult as I ran out of RCS.

Wow! That's amazing! I wish I was that creative.
