![]() at the end of the deorbit phase I had still 220 units of liquid fuel, which makes for 46 seconds of burning time (at full throttle). you'll need patience, even if you know how to do it's possible that you'll have to restart the training many times before succeeding Some advices for other new players like me who want to try it: Thank you Wlayton, I was able to land perfectly (vertically and with no crashes) using your tips about RCS, I am new to the game so I didn't even know which controls I needed to burn retrograde with RCS. explosions galore, but the pod was at least intact. Ran out of fuel just over the surface with 60 m/s during the landing. Then I switched to rockets at about 6-7 km above surface level (really wishing I had KER enabled - it even helps you time your suicide burn to land with the least amount of fuel) and at a vertical speed of roughly 500 m/s. I went with the steepest trajectory from 200km that I could so I wouldn't need to adjust my ground speed by much at all. Be patient because it takes quite some time (about 10 to 15 minutes of continuous deorbit burn). You can get a faster burn rate with your RCS is you rotate the rocket 90 degrees from where you want to accelerate and then use the translation key to perform the burn (h,n,i,j,k,l keys on the keyboard - i,j,k,&l are the best, then n if you face prograde to do a retrograde burn, and h is useless in that rocket). (I had full RCS and 222 liquid fuel at a circular orbit of 198km). Use your RCS to perform the deorbit burn at the Mun. That tiny little adjustment at Kerbin saves you 150km worth of fuel.ĭid it. But say you created a trajectory from Kerbin that got you within 50km of the surface. So when you have a trajectory that gets you to the moon at an altitude of 200km, you have to use a bunch of fuel to get you from 200km and down to the surface, fighting gravity the whole time. But if you're much, much father back, like a football field back, it only takes a very small adjustment to achieve the same effect. If you're 10 feet away from them, you have to turn quite a bit to hit them. Say, you want to shoot two targets that are 20 feet apart. Think of it kinda like your accuracy when shooting a gun. But one thing you'll learn more and more the importance of the more you play is that the sooner you make adjustments to your flight path, the less fuel it will cost. It's a very common recommendation to new players to go for Minmus before trying the Mun.Īs for this, you've got a trajectory that's getting you into the Mun's ' sphere of influence ' (in real life, this would be considered 'being captured by it's gravity), and this is definitely a good thing, especially when you're heading to other planets (much further away, much harder to hit). Also, Minmus is smaller and thus has less gravity, and also has nice big flat open plains to land on. Despite the fact that it's a bit further away than the Mun and has a tilted orbit, you really don't need much more speed to reach Minmus's orbit. ![]() Is that enough to land? Can someone good at landing please play through the 1.0 Tutorial mission "To The Mun Part 1" and give me some tips? The mission is only 5 mins long.Īs a side note, It's also quite a bit more challenging to land on the Mun than it is to land on Minmus (the second, further-out moon). ![]() Next, I get to Pe and burn retrograde to get into Mun's orbit, first making Ap <200km, then retrograde burn at Ap to get Pe <200km.Īt this point, I only have slightly more than 1/4 of fuel left in my 3 fuel tanks. (I start the burn at T- (half the duration of Est burn) as suggested.) ![]() This is what I've been doing: Here's is a screenshot of right after my manoeuvre burn from Kerbin. Perhaps I'm not taking the right path to get to Mun's orbit? I have been burning retrograde to a near stop and falling, then burning to reduce speed, but I keep running out of fuel at this point. I know it is an optional part, but the tutorial Kerbal abandoned me to do it alone! I'm having trouble landing at the end after reaching the low circular orbit <200km.
