Need a bit of assistance.


Recommended Posts

So I have now finally managed to launch my refueling module into orbit to go along and dock with the main hub, trick here is, they're at opposite ends of the planet. BUT they are traveling along near identical orbits.

What do I do?

Depends. If you take one of them to a lower orbit, it'll orbit faster and catch up to the other. Or you can take one to a higher orbit. It'll go slower, and the other will catch up to it. When they get close enough you can synch the orbits and start using more direct methods.

There's some good rendezvous tutorial vids out there...I just don't happen to have any links to hand. :X

Mechjeb can also get you to rendezvous...

Learning to dock by using MechJeb first before doing it by yourself is like teaching yourself how to drive a car with an automatic transmission, only to drive a car with a manual transmission later: You'll have a hard time transitioning.
