How do I enable docking in KSP?
Right click the docking port on your ship and hit “control from here”. Now activate docking mode.
How do ships dock with the ISS?
The Cygnus resupply spacecraft arriving at the ISS does not connect to a docking port, instead it is pulled into a berthing mechanism by the station’s robotic arm and the station then closes the connection.
Are space stations useful in KSP?
Uses. Space stations are often used as refueling depots. For example, if a station is placed in Mun orbit, a lander can dock to the station and take some fuel or monopropellant to refill its own tanks for landing and return. Space stations can also be used for scientific measuring using the various sensors.
How do I make my KSP dock easier?
Click on your own docking port and select “control from here.” Then click on your target’s docking port and select “set as target.” That is all. Turn the camera sideways and watch the amazing spectacle of your two ships docking effortlessly.
Which way do docking ports go KSP?
The left one can dock while the right is docked to the fuel tank. Due to its large radius it provides a much more rigid connection than the small-sized Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port resulting in a lot less wobble. This makes it the preferred choice for docking very large and heavy vessels.
Does ISS stop during docking?
ISS rotation is not changed for docking. The orbital drift is only a problem if you’re not actively maneuvering. Most of the approach consists of long periods of drift, with specific points where burns are planned.
How do you get a refuel station in KSP?
Right-click on the Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank of your fuel tanker. If you’ve followed the tutorial, it should be full. Then, hold Alt (Option on a Mac) and right-click on the fuel tank of your target spacecraft that you want to refuel.
How do you rescue stuck in orbit KSP?
You have to be very careful that you don’t damage anything, and take it in stages.
- Get the disabled ship into an aero-breaking orbit.
- thrust the rescue ship backwards using RCS, put that one in a stable orbit.
- switch over to the disabled ship and follow it all the way down.
- deorbit the rescue ship.
How do you use thrusters in KSP?
Press R to turn on RCS, then use WASD, SHIFT, and CTRL. Turn on Docking Mode (bottom left corner) and then press V a few times to turn the camera to CHASE mode. This is probably the easiest way to use RCS thrusters.
