Re-entry and touchdown will be spectacular. At 70.000m the atmosphere is completely gone and you are now officially in space.

You will notice excessive airflow and heat buildup as soon as you exceed ~500m/s anywhere between 0m and 50.000m. This rocket will reach an altitude of about 75.000m. RT-10 Hammer Solid Fuel Booster (solid fuel: 375) Mystery Goo Observation while flying at Kerbin (2x).Crew report while flying over Kerbin Shores.VAB: Create a separate stage for the booster and the parachute.Torque wheel or rocket gimbals used to dampen craft rotation and lock onto a specific orientation. Note that SAS will automatically use RCS if enabled (and monopropellant). Monopropellant thrusters used to control yaw, pitch and roll in space. This rocket will reach an altitude of about 8000m. RT-5 "Flea" Solid Fuel Booster (solid fuel: 140) Mystery Goo observation from Launchpad (2x).EVA Report while flying over Kerbin Shores (if you had pressed SPACE to ‘launch’ first).VAB: to move up / down alongside rocket.Note that if you crash, even though your science points are lost, a next time you succeed you will be awarded the same science points still.ĭocumentation Kerbal Space Program Wiki Keyboard mapping Satellites require parts that can be unlocked later in the science tree. This means we will be focusing on ‘manned flight’ initially. Game Mode: ScienceĪfter completing some of the tutorials we started Game Mode ‘Science’ so that we will gradually unlock parts in the game as we progress. You don’t know where to find it? Try this:Ĭomplete a number of Training missions and Scenarios. In the process you will learn about rocket design, orbital mechanics, docking procedures and onions and asparagus (really). You basically have to make it up as you go and hope your next attempt is better than your last. And to make matters worse, the program does little to stop you from doing stupid stuff (because that would also stop you from doing awesome stuff). Kerbal Space Program is like buying a self-assembly Space Shuttle without instructions. Kerbal Space Program (KSP) is a space flight simulation video game where you design and build rockets (and spaceplanes) to launch cute little Kerbal creatures into space.
