    ISS orbit sync problems

    In the tutorial I'm using it has you turn toward V(ISS) and burn to slow your relative velocity at around 5km. How would I match speeds from 9-10km? Same way? Cuz I tried that and ended up further away. Or do I retrograde burn right at the periapsis, something like that?

    I'm trying to sync my orbit with the ISS for docking, but here's what I'm encountering. I record the altitude of the ISS as it passes through my periapsis, then burn prograde at my apoapsis to adjust accordingly. The thing is, after the burn, my per and ap start shifting back and forth (I can...

    Lunar orbit going awry

    The hover and main engine sliders are all the way down, and I'm not touching the rotation/translation controls. Is there anything else?

    Lunar orbit going awry

    I've been working my way through Irving's Go Play in Space and I'm having some frustrating issues with Once Around the Block, where you perform an elevator takeoff from Brighton Beach, make a single orbit, then de-orbit and land back at Brighton. As far as I can tell, I'm following the...
