Tutorial Cape Canaveral to ISS Checklist

[Cpt CryBaby]

Greetings Fellow Space Primates!

Maybe the world didn't truly need yet another tutorial on docking for beginners...

But I made one anyway.

Lots of hand-holding early on but the pace is quickened as it progresses.

Tutorial uses standard DG with no add-ons and is aimed at the rawest of newbies. Does not require DL of mission. Uses stock mission from basic Orbiter install.

Tutorial covers:

Pre-flight/Taxi
Launch/Ascent/Orbit
Aligning Orbital Planes
Syncing Orbit
Docking

Lots o' pics, some animated .gifs and even a short .avi on the concept of aligning orbital planes.

All feedback/corrections are welcome.

Enjoy!

The number of repeated "Hlp plz cant get to iss" posts that keep showing up indicates a need, I think.

The sections on aligning planes and, in particular, Docking are very well done.
