Basic Docking for Beginners!

Yo this post was 3 years ago :D

@Elewaitingforally that is a good way to do it, I just eject chips so I don’t have any issues with RCS solar panel activation and gyros.

@KuiperAerospace and yes but my trick sometimes when I finished docking, I switch to the main module that has the chip and save . A bit less convenient but at least the game won't rename the space station all over

@KuiperAerospace same LMFAO
But hey I'm just teaching how to dock

The trick for giant space stations is ejecting command chips. Learned that lesson very late into the game...

....To the target.

I would not use an engine to slow down but I will use the RCS to do that slowing.

On Kvant-1, I made an approach speed of 33 meters per second.

Being above the orbit of your target is no problem, like transferring from Droo to Sergeaa by horizon, make some burns on the horizon and lower the periapsis.

I love your tutorials anyways.

But I know how to have a slow approach on docking.

....for the tutorial.

I have now learned how to dock before you made this tutorial, thanks.
