Killerdude8 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 New here, loving this game, just absolutely loving it!Anyways, within my first 35 minutes of playing, I have managed to send my first kerbanaught into deep space. To put it into perspective, his orbit crosses with Jool.He will not be returning home.A moment of silence.Lol, I hope to get acquainted with all you sometime in the coming weeks.

CCKinnison Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 That's actually kinda impressive, to head straight out of the SOI that quick. Is he on a Solar Escape Orbit? If not, he can be recovered... We have the Technology... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OathToAwesome Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 That IS quite impressive. Now you'll just have to learn how to rendezvous so he can be rescued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killerdude8 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Initially it was supposed to be an orbit around kerbin and when I tried to adjust his trajectory.Poof.Just wen flying off on into deep space.His orbit does return to kerbin, but kerbin is always a few hundred thousand meters ahead. In the future I will try to recover him, right now I am working on launching and docking my refueling module on my station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Ron Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Sounds like you encountered the Mun gravity field on one of your orbits. That will kick you out into a solar orbit. If you have sufficient fuel left, he can be recovered but it will take a while before his orbit comes close enough for a burn to intercept Kerbal.
