Best orbit for a space station?

150km low-orbit rendezvous 250km station 350km lunar/parking orbit 600km interplanetary/parking orbit Then anything launching is required to make at least a 75km orbit (pretty obviously, really). Ships being constructed in orbit or awaiting <whatever> from below sit at 150km (for easy rendezvous).

Tutorial: Basic Probe And Satellite Building

Probes and Satellites are two different things. This tutorial intends to help you understand what they are, what they do, and how you can build one in Kerbal Space Program.. A probe is an unmanned spacecraft that travels through space to collect science information, sent back for scientists to study.. A natural satellite is a celestial body orbiting a planet.

What''s the best launch trajectory again?

Also, keep in mind that true "efficiency" isn''t getting your payload to orbit with minimum DV expended, it''s getting your payload to orbit with the least mass and cost. Higher t/w helps reduce your total DV requirement, but it also reduces your payload fraction and increases your cost. Best, -Slashy

What is a solar orbit?

So I''ve built a station, and I want it to be in a 120km orbit. Yet i''m not sure what a solar orbit is. I have a infrared scanner on it and when i put it on a normal orbit, it says it needs to be on a solar orbit. Whats a solar orbit?

Tutorial:Ideal Orbits for Communication Satellites

Alternatively when coming from a higher orbit the placed satellite might do 1.33 orbits while the carrier makes 1 orbit with its PE at the target altitude. This requires two steps to work out. Getting the Period from the semi-major axis. The first step is knowing the period of the minimum orbit at which the satellites will see each other.

best way to go from equatorial to polar orbit

Hello,I got a satellite in a equatorial orbit (0Ã‚Âº inclination) and I need to change it to a polar orbit (90Ã‚Âº inclination) to use that Survey Scanner. I was expecting this so I put a Ion Propulsion engine on the sattelite.The best way to achieve this orbit is

Achieving a perfect orbit

In practice, +/- a few percent is pretty good. More than good enough for anything you might want a circular orbit for. As was said already, if you get the numbers really close (Like +/- 500 meters out of 100km!) the markers glitch right the f*ck out due to floating point errors.

How do I get to the moon with Principia? : r/RealSolarSystem

I asked the same question with no answer so I had to figure it out by myself. Without KER: -set the plotting frame to lunar/earth baricenter and the plane of lunar orbit -the line dividing the navball in 2 is the plane of lunar orbit -wait your direction pointer is on that line, it means your launch site is a point of the lunar orbital plane -launch trying to keep the pro/retrograde and

using "cheat" to set orbit?

These values are necessary to define any orbit. If you want just a simple circular, equatorial orbit, you need to edit the Semi-Majo Axis (SMA) and leave the other values as they are. In this case, the SMA would be the same as the radius of the orbit with the center right at center of the planet.

How to repair in orbit?

Hello there! I have a contract to rendez-vous with a satellite in orbit around the Mun and repair a broken Gigantor XL panel. However, though I can see the broken part, I can do nothing on it. I cannot select or highlight it whatever I tried. I launched 2 times, as the first time I thought it was...

Help with rocket design

P. S. For some context, the purpose of this rocket will be to complete some of the higher orbit early satellite contracts, and maybe the lunar flyby/impact contracts. I''ve got lots of money to play with so I might try out a few different configurations to figure out what works best The Kerbal Space Program subreddit. For all your gaming

Easiest way for a polar orbit around kerbin

If you find yourself already in an equatorial orbit but would like to change from that into a polar orbit (for example you launch a bunch of satellites on the same rocket but only one needs to go to polar Kerbin orbit), then the best way is to actually transfer out to the Mun, but with a slight inclination so you come around under or above the Mun, using a gravity assist to

Simple trick to keep your solar panels facing Kerbol (AKA the sun)

The Kerbal Space Program subreddit. For all your gaming related, space exploration needs. In Orbit Map view select a celestial body that is opposite or nearby the sun like Eve or Moho. I just pitch 45 degrees off the solar plane and rotate the solar panel plane 45 off of that. Usually works out well. Very few orientations cause any

Good Orbit for a space station?

CAME OUT, and the first thin i did was plant a flag on the Mun.secondly, i wanted to finally launch my space station into space because of the new IVA''s, ive launched one before, but im wondering about a decent orbit for a space station, i was wondering around 80,000? maybe 75 AP - 70 PE.

Optimal solar orbit in KSP? : r/KerbalSpaceProgram

I''m thinking about some highly elliptical orbit around Sun (half-year, if it''s even posible and if Moho and Eve don''t messing things up = ), so it would require much dV to get there once a year, but

Tutorial: Advanced Orbiting

Hohmann transfer → See also: Hohmann transfer orbit on Wikipedia The Hohmann transfer is the most frequently used method of changing orbital altitudes while keeping the same inclination.The ending orbit may be around the same celestial body as it began or for traveling to another body, such as between Kerbin and the Mun.. It involves first entering an

SENTINEL Infrared Telescope

Usage Asteroid tracking. The SENTINEL Infrared Telescope is able to locate asteroids near a planet''s orbit. In order to do so, it must be in a solar orbit (orbiting around the Sun), outside of the sphere of influence of any other body. When activated, it will begin to scan for and display asteroids that are in the next-widest planetary orbit. The telescope will continue to

Best orbit for Mun landing (possibly a daft question)

Hello wonderful community,I''m thoroughly hooked on KSP now and am working my way through career mode. I''ve managed to get a behemoth of a space station with Science Lab and dock-able lander into a 75km circular more-or-less equatorial orbit around the Mun. However, in true Kerbal style I didn''t b...
