![]() ![]() ![]() Periapsis : This is the point in your orbit at which you are closest to the body which you are orbiting.Ĭircular Orbit : This describes an orbit where the Apoapsis and Perapsis are equal (or very close).Įquatorial Orbit : This describes an orbit which follows horizontally along the planets equator. Navball : Shows the direction of your craft in relation to the nearest stellar bodies gravitational force.Īpoapsis : This is the point in your orbit at which you are furthest away from the body which you are orbiting. Target Retrograde : Burning in this direction will lower your speed towards a target object, increasing the distance between you and the target. Target Prograde : Burning in this direction will increase your speed towards a target object, lowering the distance between you and the target. Level Indicator : This shows the level of your craft on the Navball. Maneuver Prograde: This is the direction in which you must 'burn' to carry out your pre-programmed maneuver. ![]() Retrograde : This is the direction that you would currently need to accelerate in if you wanted to decrease your orbital altitude. Prograde : This is the direction that you would currently need to accelerate in if you wanted to increase your orbital altitude. Once you’re able to do this, it doesn't take a whole lot more to get out to the Mun or even the other planets in the Kerbin Solar system.īefore we start building rockets able to get to the minimum orbital altitude of 70KM, I want to explain a few phrases and icons that are used in real space flight and also here in KSP. Today we’re going to cover getting in to space and creating a stable orbit. In the first edition of our Kerbal Space Program guide, we showed you the very basics of building a rocket and getting off the ground. ![]()
