HOW TO DO SPECIFIC ORBIT MISSIONS? I don't know how

[Ec60702]

I am doing a mission where I have to launch a satellite into a specific orbit in Minmus, Although I have matched up the specific orbits, It doesn't say I complete the mission. Please possibly upload tutorial on how you do it around Minmus.

Welcome to the forum @Ec60702,

I've moved your question to gameplay questions because I think the problem might be that you are orbiting in the wrong direction. If so, don't feel too bad because most of us have done the same thing.

@James Kerman might be right here, can you post please a screenshot from both the contract as well as your current vessel orbit (map view)?

Also, the orbit should have An and Dn markers on it. Hover your cursor over one of those markers and it should show you a number. Is the number 0, or 180? (Hint: 180 is bad.)

Hover over AN or DN, they're where people usually mess up ... if it's not 0, you're going the wrong way.

Most famous missteps in satellite launching contracts:

1) forgetting stuff: Check you are not missing the parts needed in the sat, such as a termometer, materials bay, etc...

2) going the wrong way: You match the orbit but you are going the wrong way, turn around until AN is 0 degrees.

3) THAT other contract: Sometimes there are more that one contract at the time in more or less the same orbit. Check the agency that contracted you, and the name that appears in the orbit you are, they should match.
