KSP basics for Kerbal engineers 1x08 - Lets go to the Mun and back!
As you remember we designed a craft to go and come back from both Kerbin moons. Today we will test that theory and go to the Mun! So stay tunes as we will plan a proper 2 o'clock transfer maneuver to the Mun. In addition we will observer how Mun can easily change our orbit around Kerbin to either help or sabotage our efforts to get to our destination as gravity assists using the Mun must be what we want. So after this boring part we will do the small step for a Kerbal, one giant leap for Kerbal Space Program! But as it is Mun our fuel is planned till the last drop so we need to be careful that we have enough to get back safely to Kerbin!
But can we really land safely?!
===== Chapters =====
0:00:00 - Intro
0:01:29 - Accidental gravity assist changed the Mun mission to Duna mission
0:03:10 - Mun lander done some time ago (stock)
0:06:13 - Lets move our lander direction Mun and again we got gravity assists
0:14:56 - We are on the move to the Mun
0:20:17 - It's time to dock into Mun orbit
0:22:23 - We need to rotate our antenna up, orbital construction here we come!
0:25:38 - Mun capture burn and relay satellite separation
0:29:03 - Action group modification in mid flight
0:30:06 - Lets land in a crater that is in a crater!
0:32:59 - Precise landing maneuver step 1 - de-orbiting - 300m/s
0:35:44 - Precise landing maneuver step 2 - reducing speed at 20km - 120m/s
0:38:17 - Precise landing maneuver step 3 - reducing speed at 6km - 70m/s
0:39:12 - Precise landing maneuver step 4 - reducing speed at 2km - 70m/s
0:39:52 - Precise landing maneuver step 5 - landing started at 500m - 50m/s
0:40:56 - Main Engine Cutoff (MECO), we have landed!
0:45:23 - If you forget SAS on IVA, your Kerbals will not turn!
0:47:02 - We have landed, it's time to plan the takeoff procedure
0:53:27 - Going back to the Mun orbit for the second time
0:55:06 - 270m/s fuel left, can we make it home? Hoffman transfer to Kerbin succeed!
1:02:27 - Aerobreaking our last hope for survival!
1:15:22 - No more fuel now what? What are the options to survive? We have RCS !!!
1:1706 - But what if we have no RCS, what than? Pushing the rocket on IVA is the answer!
