JupiterII Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Welcome!When trying to obit, make good use of the map. You also want your periapsis to be higher than the atmoshere, so around 75, 000 metres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Very simply put, the key to orbiting is going sideways; fly upwards until your apoapsis is at about 70,000m, then fly sideways until you reach around 2,200m/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
