Hatch blocked


Recommended Posts

You could undock you capsule from the 2,5 m docking port somehow get it down to kerbin, recover it. Launch a second one with the top solar panel removed. Good luck :P

Phafor's suggestion is the simplest and most reasonable. Just scrub this mission and send up another one with a corrected solar panel placement.

You could try sending another ship up and bumping the panel, breaking it. However, the panel base would still be attached which I believe would still block the door.

Your only other option is to install Kerbal Attachment System and send another ship up there so someone can "G"rab the solar panel, freeing the hatch.

Oops! I totally missed that there was a link to an image in the first post :D

Yes, dock something to it and install Crew Manifest to transfer your guy. Or if you don't want to install a mod, you're stuck with landing the command pod somehow to recover it.

It DOES have chutes, so I'm sure it can deorbit ... does it do anything else or is it just how you're getting everybody home? If it's just a taxi to Kerbin, crew manifest sounds good.

From the pic it looks more like something destined to go somewhere else.

As I always say, test on the ground before you get to space. Avoids all kinds of heartache.

This goes without saying, except for how often it needs said :D
