Can't continue training "Asteroid Redirect, Mission Part 1"

[Orsan]

Hello,
I'm trying to complete the tutorial mentioned in the title.
But I get stuck when the following textbox pops up:

When you're happy with your plotted maneuver,
execute the burn.

One final word of warning though: when executing
this kind of precision maneuver, try to leave as little
deltaV remaining as possible or the end result could
vary greatly from what you had planned.

We will not proceed until the intercept is within
tolerances needed for this tutorial-if you don't get
it after one maneuver, plot and execute another one
a bit further ahead and so on until your final
intercept separation is less than 100 kilometres.

What I do when that textbox pops up is I execute my maneuver where
the orange intercept separation is 0.2km and the
pink intercept separation is 531.3km.

Then I wait for my vessel to reach the orange intercept.
The separation between me and the object is under 100km every time.
What am I missing/doing wrong?

Thanks for your help. :)

Have you tried getting both separation indicators to less than 100km?
You sure it's asking for less than 100km, and not 100m?

(disclaimer: It's been 2 or more years since I did the tutorials).

I've just started the tutorials and got stuck here as well. I found this post while searching for an answer to why the tutorial won't move past that point. It is still broken as of this posting (why have the devs not fixed this yet?).

Switch speed to target mode. Turn retrograde. Start slowing down at 50.

You mean speeding up. When you fire thrusters while retrograde oriented to an object moving faster than you, you are speeding up to reduce the difference in speed between you and the object.

I ran into this as well. Tried getting both intercepts to under 1km. No dice. Anybody?

I did not do the tutorial, but its just like docking only you can attach antwhere. Try to get 50km or below otherwise when you get close you will not focus on the asteroid as a target and thus cannot slow down to intercept.

Its actually quite simple, just takes some patience with the nodes to get the right placement.

Doing it right wasn't the problem for me. I did it correctly, over and over, and the simplicity has nothing to do with the problem. The tutorial simply won't move forward past that point.

Got the same problem. Exacy same as you, adjusted and burned so the intersection at orange would be 0.2KM, tutorial did not continue.
I have yet to try the mission without altering the node...

What I found to be the solution:

- Do as before, burn and get on the same route as before, and when you're about 100km away, create a new node where you adjust prograde and radial until you're on the almost the same route as the asteroid. It might flight pass you, but it shouldn't be to hard to keep up with it. When I did this, the mission updated, and I got new instructions. TBH, I just did the same as the rendezvous mission, and could get straight to the asteroid. It stops when you are near the asteroid, but still haven't grabbed it.

So it seems like you have to get close, AND adjust orbit for the tutorial to continue.

- A tip from a YouTube video I saw, which adds to the rendezvous explaination, is to adjust with RCS/engine so that the target and prograde symbols lines up, that way you will never overshoot. For some reason the tutorials doesn't explain this, but rather tells you to stop and correct the heading towards target.
