Basics of gravity assists - Kerbal Space Program

[@danpettersson4671]

Maneuvers were well described. Thank for the information, and the entertainment.

[@Orb8Ter]

Thanks, I hoped this would help people I think I need to perhaps show these in an above view to show what happening.

[@RobloxDeadzoneHacks]

Take a shot every time he says Mun

“Encounter with the Man”

[@Superdelphinus]

I’ve only just come across this guy today, but the constant mispronunciation of words and bits of gibberish is intoxicating.

[@matteoc17]

This should be the video linked in the ksp wiki page and not the Scott Manley one, I mean, this is a real and simple Tutorial on how to gravity assist!

[@ryanvalentine4151]

I was actually just thinking about finding a tutorial on this subject when you posted this. Are you psychic?

[@Orb8Ter]

No but almost XD Someone actually asked about this so i though why not :D

[@ryanvalentine4151]

That's a relief. I thought I might have to go make a tinfoil hat

[@aaronholloway1991]

Orb8Ter I did thanks for listening :)

[@strandedsurvivor7888]

A “basic” rocket that can get you basically anywhere in the kerbol system. Hmm... what about interstellar space? Does it have the deltaV for that?

[@Orb8Ter]

Oh yes it does, with a slingshot from Jool it will travel to the stars! well at least Jeb will since he is in the cockpit 😁

[@strandedsurvivor7888]

Orb8Ter hmm, sounds good. What about in RSS or the interstellar mod with multiple star systems xD

[@zenongalvan9769]

Now it's time to slingshot on stars!

[@strandedsurvivor7888]

@@zenongalvan9769 Indeed it is!

[@jeronimo3054]

When you go to Jool, you can use a gravity assyst from Tylo to be in jool orbit without any other burn. Tylo can put you in there.

[@alienboyme5952]

I needed help on this thanks for making a vid on it long time I haven’t watched your vids I’ve been busy with school hello again

[@Orb8Ter]

Hello definitely remember that name :D No problem school work is more important trust me I wish I had done better in school XD

[@somebigbear]

4:21 is that a chiptunes themes?

[@Orb8Ter]

No that's Synthetic Stratosphere by Teknoaxe :D

[@somebigbear]

Orb8Ter Oh alright! Kind of sounds like Chiptunes

[@namedropper9237]

I just had a epiphany watching this, so I’ve been stuck trying to get to Duna. I just realized my mistake. I was going from deep space to tight orbit wasting so much deltaV. I should be going from deep space to high elliptical orbit.

[@mineeagle2651]

You dont need gravity assists to get to duna

[@namedropper9237]

MineEagle When you’re as bad as me you do

[@Andreas-ut7bu]

Super helpful video. What is the mod called where it burns the node perfectly. i always mess my nodes up and can never get them to be perfect

[@Orb8Ter]

The mod is called MechJeb and its cool for a lot of automated tasks and even just info like orbit ;)

[@dawidepl7807]

Thx can you make tutorial - how go to Eeloo

[@derekdelboytrotter8881]

Hey Orb8ter, how about a video of how to make a rocket that will make it from kerbin to Eve, land and make it back to Kerbin in one mission? I have no idea how to build a rocket that can do that. Thanks

[@Orb8Ter]

That is a hard mission to do even I struggle I need to build a launcher that takes off from Eve it takes a ridiculous amount of fuel for a small craft, Matt Lowne has done a few videos even he posted his fails from launching from Eve, I will try and build an Eve launcher when i have a chance.

[@derekdelboytrotter8881]

Cool, I look forward to that video.

[@neodymium1110]

Literally years late but, speaking from experience, an apollo style mission will suit the best for a mission to a place like eve. It is most definitely the easiest place to land on cause you can just stick a bunch of heat shields underneath the craft and the extremely thick atmosphere should do its job. The take off is difficult for the same reason. Unless your some aerodynamic-craft-building-god the atmosphere is gonna slow you down a lot, its gonna be hellllllla painful taking the entire lander stage up. So you can attach your science units to the ascent module and leave the descent module on eve as it is. (Also if you dont know how to dock and your trying to get to eve, you will probably not be able to, since docking is a crucial skill to learn in this game before going to places like eeloo or eve.) Hope this helped

[@Jesin00]

What's the mod that's showing you the porkchop plot? Is that in Mechjeb?

[@jaminbareis9568]

Hey Orb8ter, I haven't been on your KZbin channel for a long time. But I enjoyed watching your video. You described it very well, I could understand it as a German one👍. But I have one question why did you wrote KERBIN Space Program, doesn't it is KERBAL Space Program? Sorry for my English, there might be some mistakes in my comment.

[@Orb8Ter]

LOL i set an auto title for the videos and didnt notice that, 😅 Thanks just correct about six videos with the mistake 😂

[@jaminbareis9568]

😂😂

[@scottwilliams846]

"You can't use the Mun to get to Duna" Incorrect. I sent a Jool mission in a career save and used a gravity assist off the Mun to get very close to Duna height. It was nowhere near the right time to go straight to Duna, but it was a sufficient assist.

[@Exi01]

Finally understand them now thanks

[@mineeagle2651]

The old fuel tanks look so bad

[@MrCrazyman-tm1jn]

SO USEFUL thank you

[@nelsonsobral2629]

OK so drastic oversimplification, encounter with planet behind it = greater speed relative to its parent celestial body, encounter with planet in front of it = lesser relative speed to its parent celestial body.

[@nishitagarwal7777]

what are the visual mods used

[@Orb8Ter]

The visual mods i use are: Environmental Visual Enhancements, scatterer with scatterer sunflare, Stock Visual Enhancements-High Res Textures I normally use CKAN to download mods :D

[@lanerasnake6265]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@Orb8Ter]

No problem Thanks :D

[@felfox1291]

I can't build sstos pls help in next video

[@Orb8Ter]

I am terrible at SSTO's but I do plan on giving the basics I can never find out how much delta V you need to get into orbit wether its a large slow or small fast SSTO but wont be next video sorry I will have to test things out for this one.

[@felfox1291]

Orb8Ter i understand thanks😏

[@Dichuz91]

was just watching another ksp video by another youtuber and it made me start thinking of challenges, in the video the guy does a reddit challenge in which the object of the challenge is to retrieve a satellite from kerbin orbit and return it planet side...needless to say the youtuber one upped the challenge and proceeded to recover a satellite from duna orbit with an SSTO, so i propose a challenge to you to take it further....might take a bit of setup work though...my challenge is this, not just retrieve a satellite from space, but retrieve it using an SSTO from a eeloo polar orbit, and return....think you're game Orb8Ter?

[@clayman0430]

i've never used a gravity assist

[@Orb8Ter]

Its easy enough just need to mess around with manoeuvre nodes to see what will happen, also don't forget to save before doing manoeuvres just in case ;)

[@musashi939]

@@Orb8Ter I fiddled around with that yesterday a few hours trying to get a useful slingshot from eve. I don't get it what I'm doing wrong. But basically slingshotting from eve to Jool costs me more than directly going to Jool not to mention it was really hard work to get that right

[@quantik1678]

Awesme video

[@nia.d33]

Did you just prenounce Duna "JEWGNAR"? 1:49 lel

[@safepancake7551]

you sound like scott manley with a slightly thinner accent

[@akrmki3389]

he sounds like a dutch dude trying to sound like scott manley..

[@lukezoeller7517]

This is very helpful! Thanks man

[@PoisonBerryVS]

23 seconds in and ive already fucked up. My Jeb is dead -_-

[@Dichuz91]

eyyy new video

[@sixbox9021]

I'm the second to comment and like and the third to watch this video!

[@Orb8Ter]

Thank you second commenter :D

[@jamesgattera9760]

Great information, but the pronunciation of Mun irritated me way more than it should.

YAY thanks

Orb8Ter can you please do a minimus tutorial? Thank you.
