Kerbal Recovery Mission

[Phoenix-Aerospace]

Hello all,

In the midst of doing contracts for the new version of KSP .24, one of the contracts offered a few times is to recover a stranded kerbal from orbit. The problem I found on my first attempt at one of these is that you can neither fly the Kerbal or capture him in a contraption of any kind as it fails you upon re-entry or landing . It says to get them aboard your craft and then return to Kerbin with the Kerbal in question. Is there something that I am missing?

When you get near (within physics range, about 2.5 km) you can use '[' or ']' (default bindings) to switch control to the stranded Kerbal. He will then respond to EVA controls. Note that, as you have seen, you can not switch using the tracking station or map mode.

Once you control the Kerbal, have him enter a spare pod, deorbit and land.

No, you're not missing anything at all.

And - just from the last couple of pages - exactly the same questions by other people who also missed everything that had already been written:
