can you help me with a synchronous orbit


Recommended Posts

Like @Geonovast says, you're going the wrong way.

"How do they know where I'm going?"

If you hover over the An/Dn markers, I bet they say 180, or 179.9 or something like that. That's how you know you're going the wrong way. Also, the target orbit has a comet-trail looking thing that goes around in the direction you're supposed to be going.

You may not have the fuel to fix it, though if you're going to make this mistake Minmus is one of the best places to be. As your orbital velocity is only 62m/s, it will only take 124m/s to flip your orbit 180 degrees (62 to slow down to 0, 62 to speed up to orbital velocity in the other direction).
