fallofshadows Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hey folks,I\'ve been playing this game for about half a week now, and I\'ve gotten down landing on the Mun (well, mostly crash landings, I\'m getting there!) but I have a question. How can you pick a specific location on the Mun to land? I\'ve got some crash landed kerbonauts that I want to rescue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cykyrios Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 What you basically need to do in order to choose your landing site is to know how to change your orbital plane (there\'s a guide about this, but I don\'t remember where exactly).Then, once your orbit is aligned with the location you want for your landing, you 'simply' have to time your retrograde burn and adjust your throttle to kill horizontal velocity.Once there, you can fine tune your landing site using RCS or precise maneuvering with your engine.I\'m no pro at this though, so I believe some other people will give you better advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillWiskins Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=7332.0There is a step in this guide which can explain how to alter the plane of your orbit. I usually adjust so that my path will take me directly over the site of whatever went horribly wrong previously, spin my good self retrograde and before I\'m quite overhead, full burn to basically \'stop\' and then fall straight down.It\'s not the most scientific, economic or accurate approach, but if you can land within a kilometre or so it\'s not too hard to use RCS to hover closer to your target.
