[0.24] rescue mission

[GilHamilton]

Hi there,

First time poster, long-time KSP lover.

I've just been trying out 0.24. I took on the Kerbin rescue mission contract, where there is a Kerbal stuck in orbit. I got an unmanned ship with a Mk1 command module for Jonson's ride home. Upon rendezvous, I couldn't get Jonson to climb aboard. How do you actually get him on board to complete the mission?

Thanks!

On most keyboards, the [ and ] switch vessel keys should help once within 2.5km.

Right now, rescuable kerbals I think use the asteroid system and don't count as being "owned" by you until you switch to them using the keyboard. Odd, I know, but for now that's how it works.

You remember to press r to activate the jetpack

Also if he don't respond you might want to go to tracking station and back.

I think there should be a separate contract dedicated to finding out how he ended up there in the first place.

EDIT: Or maybe he just got sent there by somebody else. That works.
