Space Navigation Example Rocket

Space travel made easy.

This is an example rocket for builders that is capable of navigating to any set of coordinates on earth, in space, or on the moon. Feel free to use its functionality in your own builds.




- Navball
- Target coordinates autopilot (or more accurately, a flight director)
- Moon/earth travel autopilot (flight director)
- RCS control system
- HUD display radar system
- Astronomy sensor to physics sensor converter


REQUIRES INFINITE FUEL AND ELECTRICITY


FLIGHT

- Throttle up and hit 1 to light the engines
- I recommend having rotation stabilization turned on at all times

NAVBALL

For those who have already played KSP, using the Navball should be second nature. For those unfamiliar:


The main ones you care about are Prograde, Retrograde, and the target markers. Prograde is the direction you are currently moving in space, and you want this to overlap the target marker in order to burn towards it.

To slow down and stop, you need to flip around and point Retrograde, then burn your engines.

TARGET AUTOPILOT

- Input coordinates in the keypads and select the appropriate mode: Earth, Astronomy, or Moon coordinates.
- Push the Draw Target button
- Take off and aim your prograde vector at the target marker

EARTH/MOON AUTOPILOT

- Turn on earth-moon autopilot button
- Choose direction on flip switch
- Push the Draw Target button
- Aim at target marker on navball
