How do you get to Mun from orbit?

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 do you land on Mun with MechJeb?

Step 4 – Land on the Mun

1. After you’ve entered the Mun’s sphere of influence, open the Landing Autopilot from the MechJeb menu.
2. Ensure “Deploy Parachutes” is UNchecked.
3. Press Select target on the map and choose where you want to land.
4. Press Land at target.
5. MechJeb will warp to the deorbit burn point.

How long does it take for the MUN to orbit kerbin?

How do you get to the lunar orbit in KSP?

Landing on the Mun Time warp in Mun orbit until you are over the sunrise of the Mun. Then, activate your engine and burn until your periapsis disappears and your orbit line goes into the ground. Make sure the line ends on the light side of the Mun then cut your engine.

How do you land on Mun efficiently?

The absolute most efficient way is to launch when the mun is ~15 degrees away from the KSC, and burn straight up until you get an encounter. Minor maneuvers will be necessary.

Where does MechJeb install to?

Locate the KSP folder and click on GameData. You should see a “Squad” folder if you haven’t modded your KSP version yet. Now drag your ‘MechJeb2’ folder into the game folder and tada! You have now successfully installed an addon.

How do you use MechJeb 2 in KSP?

DStaal

1. Launch to orbit.
2. Once circularized, set the space station as the target.
3. Open MechJeb Maneuver Planner, select ‘Bi-Impulsive Transfer to Target’.
4. Plot and execute burn.
5. In MechJeb Maneuver Planner select ‘Fine-Tune Closest Approach to Target’.
6. Plot and execute burn.

How do you land on the Mun?

When the rocket reaches the encounter point, set up orbit around the Mun to avoid landing on the dark side, which is much harder. Finally, deorbit the lander so it will land on the light side, and land. Congratulations! You have successfully landed!

How do I get to Mun from Kerbin’s orbit?

To transfer from Kerbin’s orbit, you will want your Apoapsis to intersect the Mun’s orbit. 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.

Is it possible to stationary a spacecraft in orbit around Mun?

However, putting your spacecraft just outside Mun’s SOI and having the same semi-major axis would make it appear stationary. A normal 25 km orbit can be achieved using around 800 m/s delta V.

How to reach Munar trajectory in a single orbit?

An extremely shoddy illustration of how to reach Munar Trajectory in a single orbit. To transfer from Kerbin’s orbit, you will want your Apoapsis to intersect the Mun’s orbit. If you want to reach the Mun on the first swing around, wait until Mun rises just above the horizon.
