Rendezvous "technical" problems

[Ghostexx7]

So hello

I have a problem with rendezvous, i eventually CAN reach 0.1 to 0.0 km, but either the Ship/Asteroid its going too fast (like 3 times faster than me), so i can't get into a docking position, i dont know what plane matching is or those stuff :/

not planning on going to grab a Asteroid if i cant Rendezvous..

Once you're within ~60km or so of your target, the Navball should automatically switch over to Target Mode, which shows your velocity relative to your target. (If it doesn't, you can manually toggle it by clicking on the velocity indicator to cycle between "Target," "Orbit," and "Surface" modes.) Once you're in Target mode, you can burn in the retrograde direction (the closed yellow marker on the Navball) to slow down relative to your target so you can fly your way over. It's not the most efficient way to do it, but it's the way I'd recommend to a beginner at docking until you get a better feel for how performing certain burns in certain directions can affect your velocity vector.

While you're at it, feel free to check out some of the Rendezvous and Docking tutorials I've listed in the Drawing Board, which is conveniently linked in my signature. Feel free to ask further questions if you're still encountering problems.

Hope this helps!

You just solved my problem... without math... related to rendezvous....

I will reach Duna!!! Thank you very much!!!
