How do you land in the Mun?

If you want to reach the Mun on the first swing around, wait until Mun rises just above the horizon. A good rule of thumb is for each 100 km you are above Kerbin, wait another 2 seconds. Once it does, begin a forward burn, and keep an eye on your map, as the apoapsis moves out towards Munar orbit.

How much delta v Do you need to get back from the MUN?

Specifications. Recommended Delta-V: ~ 6,500 for Orbit and Return. ~ 7,500 for Landing and Return.

What is the highest point on the Mun?

7062 m
The Mun’s highest points reach a maximum altitude of 7062 m and are located near the poles. The highest point within 45° latitude of the equator has an altitude of ~6120m and is located at 129.64° W, 0.97° N, on the north side of a canyon which is on the east edge of a large crater.

How much fuel does it take to get to Mun in KSP?

Note that this is not the most efficient method fuelwise, but if you’re not an expert in Mun landings this oughta give you enough play to make it to the surface with between 80-90 units of fuel remaining.

How do you get a Minmus encounter?

Similar to the Mun guide, wait until Minmus is about 4-5 degrees over the horizon (20-40 degrees in the map) to begin your burn. It will appear as a small dot above the horizon. Burn until your apoapsis intersects Minmus’ orbit, and (hopefully) you will be caught.

How much Delta-V does a Kerbal have?

Single stage with total atmospheric Δv of 5000 m/s, and rated 6000 Δv in vacuum.

How long is a day on the Mun?

Mun
Sidereal rotation period 6 d 2 h 36 m 24.4 s
Sidereal rotational velocity 9.0416 m/s
Synchronous orbit 2 970.56 km
Sphere of influence 2 429 559.1 m [Note 1]

How much delta v Do you need to orbit kerbin?

roughly 4500 m/s
Reaching a stable orbit around Kerbin is one of the first milestones the player achieves in the game. Achieving such an orbit with a fuel-optimal ascent requires a delta-V of roughly 4500 m/s, the second largest of all celestial bodies with a solid surface after Eve.

Is Minmus tidally locked?

Minmus is no longer tidally locked to Kerbin. Minmus’ mass reduced. Synchronous orbit is now possible. Previously, it would have required an altitude of 4 302.99 km, outside Minmus’ sphere of influence.
