Nibb31 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 This isn\'t really a support question.It\'s hard to see what your orbits are from that angle, but your craft seems to be too close to the Apoapsis to lower it significantly. To lower the Apoapsis, you need to burn retrograde at the Periapsis. To raise your Periapsis, you need to burn prograde at the Apoapsis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
your mom Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 I think it\'s support You are helping me And thanks I will try it once I am at my computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardgame Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 When you launch from Kerbin, as you make your gravity lean, make sure to keep your ship\'s heading perfectly @ 90 or 270 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Ivanovich Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Raising/lowering Apogee/PerigeeTo lower Apogee: Burn against the flight direction at Perigee.To raise Apogee: Burn towards the flight direction at Perigee.To lower Perigee: Burn against the flight direction at Apogee.To raise Perigee: Burn towards the flight direction at Apogee.Moving Apogee/Perigee along flight pathTo move Perigee against flight direction: Burn towards flight direction when you are past Perigee OR burn against flight direction when you are before Perigee.To move Apogee against flight direction: Burn towards flight direction when you are past Apogee OR burn against flight direction when you are before Apogee.To move Perigee towards flight direction: Burn against flight direction when you are past Perigee OR burn towards flight direction when you are before Perigee.To move Apogee towards flight direction: Burn against flight direction when you are past Apogee OR burn towards flight direction when you are before Apogee.Note: This will also change your Apogee/Perigee, depending on where you execute the maneuver. The closer you are to either position, the more the other one will change.Tilting flight axisAt Apogee/Perigee, burn towards the direction you plan to shift your plane to, normal to the flight plane. Note: As the plane shifts, the direction you burn towards has to change as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
