How do I get to the moon in Kerbal space program?

If you want to reach the Mun on the first swing around, wait until Mun rises just above the horizon. A good rule of thumb is for each 100 km you are above Kerbin, wait another 2 seconds. Once it does, begin a forward burn, and keep an eye on your map, as the apoapsis moves out towards Munar orbit.

How much delta v Do you need to orbit kerbin?

Reaching a stable orbit around Kerbin is one of the first milestones the player achieves in the game. Achieving such an orbit with a fuel-optimal ascent requires a delta-V of roughly 4500 m/s, the second largest of all celestial bodies with a solid surface after Eve.

How do you get into orbit in KSP?

Steps to Orbit and Back

1. Launch Preparation. Set thrust to maximum by hitting Z.
2. Accelerate to 100 m/s. Launch by hitting the space bar and keep the rocket pointed straight up until the vehicle’s speed is 100 m/s.
3. Pitch 10 degrees East.
4. Stage.
5. Get apoapsis above 70 km.
6. Get periapsis above 70 km.
7. De-orbiting.
8. Re-entry.

What is the point of Kerbal space program?

About This Game Launch your Kerbal crew into orbit and beyond (while keeping them alive) to explore moons and planets in the Kerbol solar system, constructing bases and space stations to expand the reach of your expedition.

Why can I not revert flight KSP?

If it was mid-flight when you started flying it (like you went to the space center and then back) you can’t revert anymore, you’re in it for the long haul.

How tall is a Kerbal?

roughly 0.75 meters tall
Kerbals display no variance in height or weight. They stand roughly 0.75 meters tall (2’5½”). As of 1.11, a Kerbal in an EVA suit, without jetpack nor parachute, has a mass of 45.0 kilograms (99.2 lbs.), which is 0.045 in-game Mass units.

How do you get maneuver nodes in KSP career?

You have to unlock both the second level Tracking Station and the second level Mission Control. You are looking for the “Flight Planning” upgrade. Note that it is the second level of each building, not the third. Neither building needs the third level upgrade before maneuver nodes are available.

How do you use the EVA jetpack in KSP?

Pressing R will activate a Kerbonaut’s RCS jetpack. If he is in midair, he will attempt to automatically reorient to face away from the camera on the axis perpendicular to the equatorial plane. W , S , A , and D will move him respectively forward, backward, left, and right relative to the direction he is looking.
