I cannot reach a proper rendezvous that passes by at close distances, so I am 100,000 feet away. Is their any way to rendezvous or do I need to restart.
#How do you rendezvous when you are in stable orbit at far distances.

ok I figured out if you set the apoapsis slightly higher you will slowly approach it as the slight increase allows the gemini to catch up
ok never mind
didn't work

Yeah changing the orbital time is your best option

just difficult to do
also
how do you burn good enough to fly by at close distances
lusty spade
Yeah how much you have to do do it and wait varies
carmine wadi
like I saw in the video

Other option would really be to restart

Like that you have to do a 50/50 burn
what is a 50/50 burn
oh wait
god damn I play ksp
and I ignored burn time
because it never mentioned it in the tutorials
I will restart with that in mind
and ignore when it says to burn
and just doing 50/50
lusty spade
Yeah the tutorial could probably be better on that

I played ksp and that rule is one of the most important

I don't recall exactly what rough-estimate factor I use for m/s to s before T-0
carmine wadi
also tho if the mission goes passed the retro time
all of the staging lights up
how do you turn it off
carmine wadi
damn also the timer for rendezvous only allows 24 hours
so it counts down like 3 hours then
it goes to 24
why can't the objective's account for more than 24 hours of waiting
whole wolf
damn also the timer for rendezvous only allows 24 hours
Fixed the issue about the Mission Objective timer, good spot 🙂 Will be part of the next patch

Ok, in these situations I do what I learned from KSP to be honest. If I'm too far away after all the normal procedure burns, do the opposite of what's intuitive. I'll be more specific:
Check F3 to determine if you generally AHEAD or BEHIND the target along your orbit.
If you are AHEAD: Turn SEF (away from the target craft) and thrust forward until your APOGEE (OBC 98) is about 5 miles higher.
Initially it will look like you are moving away, but your orbit now takes more time over-all, and the target will eventually pass-by under you, no more than 5 miles (26,500ft) away.
If you are BEHIND: Turn BEF (away from the target craft) and thrust forward until your PERIGEE (OBC 99) is about 5 miles lower.
Again it will look like you are moving away, but your orbit now takes less time over-all, and you will pass the target by below it, no more than 5 miles away.
