Is there an assist mode for the scenarios. So you don’t feel like you need to have degree in orbital mechanics?

Curious if there’s a mode that offers help or assistance to those of us that haven’t had 4 years of orbital mechanics or a photographic memory? Great game teaches a lot but a bit on the difficult side. Most specifically for scenarios or entire game if available.

Short answer is no.

Longer answer would be to ask any specific questions here and you'll get help pretty quick from one of us

Looking back, I don't even know how I got a knock with this game. It's hard for beginners, not only for the orbital mechanics, but also playing career you have access only to the worsts parts 1st.

Post questions if you have, people here are usually helpful and friendly (except with some thorny topics)

Youtube is a great teacher too, even for old versions the mechanics are basically the same. Have fun!

I learned game basics (or orbital mechanics 101) from text tutorial with a few images in about a two nights. So much for the degree. That being said, back when I tried scenarios (which was a long time ago!) it was not always clear what you are meant to do.  I'd say, read tutorial (there is whole category  here on forums) or watch some video on topic of orbital mechanics (Scott Manley be your guide). It's not hard, it's not even particularly complicated. It's just different and need some getting used to.
