How To Capture an Asteroid (Kerbal Space Program)

Показать описание

Harv presents a short tutorial on how to capture an asteroid in the Kerbal Space Program. Here's a link to the aero-braking calculator:

The way he said 'Get ready... for docking' at 4:25 makes me laugh every time I hear it XD

Liking the smooth jazz in the background :)

make a space station using the asteroid as your base and just attach things on to it and you could make a cool base

I did exactly what you said and it worked first time, I captured my first asteroid, a class D. Cheers dude!

At 5:40 you say "burn tangentially". I'm fairly sure the tangent of a curve lies along your current direction ie prograde/retrograde. This is really inefficient for diverting the asteroid. You should burn perpendicular to the tangent as just a small nudge will divert a lot. In KSP terms you should burn at the 'Radial' marker

Thank you and have an amazing year everyone! btw at 5:40 its more efficient to burn at the radial market then at the horizon line thing!

This helped a lot. Don't forget to put lots of engines on the asteroid too.

You know, this will actually come in useful for me as I am struggling to capture one. >__<

very nicely done, ty for the insight and comedy

Very minor point: If you're using 0.23.5.x rather than the preview build, the game will have defaulted to Kerbal days/years, so there may not be such a thing as "12 days, 8 hours" any more (Kerbal days are 6 hours long).

I belive I will try to land it on kerbin. Just to have some deco on the launch pad.

Send a ship full of surface dockers that have their own RCS and a docking port on the back. This ship could go to the orbiting asteroid and you could add a dozen docking sites to the asteroid. You could then connect a huge fuel reserve to it and use it as a rendezvous for ships.
