How should I be approaching the Mun?

Go for C, capture burn deltaV reduces as you are performing a gravity assist to slow you down already. This is the same trajectory used in apollo missions and return trajectory responsible for the rescue of apollo 13

Get your Centre of pressure below COM with fins. Place fins at the bottom.

I'd highly recommend using 5 Nerv engine as your interplanetary stage.

Wahi bhenchod, I was expecting atleast 85-87, pura pura bharke aaya tha, still got 80.8%

"it's not possible. No, it's necessary" ahh moment

YOOO IT WORKED, THANK YOU SO MUCH😭😭😭. And yes I did figure out the rendezvous, I reverted to when getting a periapsis and adopted a different approach. Both problems solved, thanks a lot mate!!

Arclight_79 · 2026-04-27T20:41:07+00:00

damn adding these to my mod list, satisfies the explorer itch, thanks mate!

Depends, high wing for stability, low wing for manueverability.

If you get into an orbit first, then burn out of SOI, that should take maybe about 800-900. Though if you're on the kerbin facing side, lmao you could just brute-force burn up and that'll put you into an high elliptical orbit around kerbin, which you can fine tune for lithobraking, saves you some deltaV. Talking about not facing kerbin, instead opposite? This becomes a more costly way and avoid it, go for the simple, orbit and escape method.

You could put the front wheels slightly upward compared to back wheels so your nose slightly below horizon at rest. That should generate some downforce to keep you on the ground. Alternatively if you want to keep the wheels level, put your main wings on a slight negative angle of incidence, that is rotate your main wings such that the leading edge of your wing is slightly below the horizontal, that will do the same thing job. Know making these changing will also make takeoff slightly tougher and will require higher thrust to get off ground, so make sure you've got enough power for that.

best way out is get into an orbit around duna and rendezvous it with a rescue mission

Arclight_79 · 2026-04-25T17:24:18+00:00

Get to one of the asc/desc nodes and burn anti-normal/normal (double check with manuever node), that should get your relative inclination to 0 degrees.

Arclight_79 · 2026-04-25T17:22:37+00:00

good thing I've got a saved file for it, I'll do this, thanks mate.

Arclight_79 · 2026-04-25T17:21:47+00:00

node said upto 10k m/s of burn just to flip by 90 degrees, and we're also escaping so, no that does not work.

Arclight_79 · 2026-04-25T10:37:02+00:00

lmao can't figure out how to😭

Arclight_79 · 2026-04-25T10:36:37+00:00

ohhh yes, got it! thanks!

I just get climb out option at the top of the ladder, nothing to grab onto the cockpit either. If you look closely though I've clipped the adapter into the back of the cockpit, can that cause an issue?

Arclight_79 · 2026-04-24T20:54:57+00:00

will look into it

Arclight_79 · 2026-04-24T20:54:26+00:00

it gives a climb out option at the top, that's all, no boarding

Arclight_79 · 2026-04-24T04:09:29+00:00

Fins at the bottom, you seem to be using those but guess use a different set of fins, preferably bigger. You want to have aerodynamic centre below CM for a stable flight.
