rules of astronmy

This is a guide to astronomy and space

gravity one important thing to in ksp without knowing the gravity planned missions may be worthless so kerbin has a gravity of 9.81 m\s squared now it is not enough to use the Kmu on the kerbals there are three types of gravity definitions on planets anti-gravity, regular, and submarine. you must know what anti-gravity is submarine is the opsite of anti-gravity so it is so heavy that it would crush a human

getting to orbit an object propelled from the surface of kerbin

will fall this is called sub orbital flight to get into orbit you need to be 70,000 m*70,000 m to be in orbit near kerbin. Inclination is the angle between the of that orbit and a reference plane 0 degrees inc. represents a equatorial orbit and is rotating the seme way as kerbin 90 degrees inc. represents a polar orbit, 180 degrees inc is an equatorial orbit but in a retro grade orbit

transfers: to moons

to get to a moon in ksp to get to kerbin's moon the Mun you have to blast 45 degrees ahead of the mun and retrograde to establish a orbit

Transfers: to other celestial bodies

the most common transfer orbit is called a hohmann transfer orbit

it achieve transfer by "firing the spacecraft's engine so that it is propelled along the desired ellipse

Docking: the operation which you need to rendezvous with the object and align the docking ports and dock this requires a lot of fuel for beginners and also you need rcs because it is easier to do it with rcs also i recommend using the docking mode it allows the rcs to act differently than in staging mode

Reminder don't forget to go back to staging mode

Landing: there are a few types of landing

1. splash down this is achieved by landing a capsule in the water

2. eject is to get out of a capsule and land by parachute on land

3. landing on land is required to have a lot of work to do

4. space planes make controlled glides on the runway

That makes no sense

[Istas]

Just... please just stop. Also, please stop spamming posts. If you've got a bunch to say you can say it in a single post. This isn't Twitter.

alpha tech, please edit your original post if you wish to add anything, otherwise this will be considered an attempt at power posting.

Sir, I'm sorry, but we have a lot of guides already, and they are all very well written, so everybody is capable of understanding them. I'm afraid your post won't add anything of value to the forums, so I suggest that ,if you want to post here, you make an effort in grammar and spelling. It is not so, that we will correct what people writes, however it is much easier to read and understand when a post is well written. Punctuation is also very important.

I hope that you do not feel offended, and welcome to the forums.

Thought I might add that your guide refers to astrodynamics rather than astronomy too.
