How to do your FIRST MUN LANDING! KSP Tutorial (Science Mode)

[@MattLowne]

I'm a bit poorly this week so sorry if I don't sound as up-beat in the commentary! Also, before any intellectuals comment about how I say Mun and not Mün, it's because it is not called Mün anywhere in the game except on the title screen with the crashed lander. The devs say Mun, the map screen and science reports say Mun, in fact every single mention of it in the game is written without the Umlaut. Thank you for understanding.

Just completed my first Mun landing yesterday. Man it's a great feeling, highly recommend it to all you new KSP players out there. I'd say the most exciting part of my landing in particular was when my orbit took me through a giant canyon- so I dipped down to the crazily low altitude and flew through this canyon at supersonic speed. That was really cool.

I absolutely love anyone who posts timestamps on videos that either don't support it or just the uploader didn't do it. So thank you is all I'm trying to say lol. Also, I'd say for the Mun landing part, I'd just round it off to the the 10:00 minute mark, that's when he starts his burn for it, or for the more advanced users more comfortable doing the maneuvers and what not, I'd set it to as early as 9:02 because that's when he starts the whole sequence, even if it's close to the "Mun Orbit" timestamp. But hey 26 seconds is still 26 seconds some people feel is "wasted" so I can also see why you just leapt to the 10:35 mark.

Since the last patch, you can click on the altimeter to get altitude above the local ground instead of above sea level. It helps A LOT when making soft-landings because you no longer have to watch for your shadow to judge the distance to the ground. It's one of those new quality of life tools that helps new players to learn the basics.

[@orbitalvagabond3297]

@@Mike-oz4cv I've actually never played with PreciseNode. Even when doing interplanetary missions I've never found the need for it, because it's basically impossible to execute a burn to the level of precision it provides. I just use maneuver nodes to get timing and approximate burn times, the burn manually. Sometimes the orbit needs to be trimmed with RCS, but that's not hard at all. I get why people use it, and it's a totally valid approach. It's just not how I prefer to play. I've seen too many streamers spend too much time obsessing over getting the *perfect* vector sum to go down that path.

[@sweetlane1813]

Thank you a lot! This guide is very helpful for me as a new player. I've managed to open my entire science tree even without any piloting mission outside Kerbin SoI, because I'm not bounded by restriction 'one biome per body'. Mostly because of this guide which has a lot of information about landing on Mun and Minmus. First things first, I've sent missions to Mun and Minmus like in video. Second, I`ve burned to the node with Gravioli detector (because it is the only scientific module that performs biome-sensitive analysis for both high-above and low-above flight). Then, because of beautiful mod SCAN whch shows you biome maps for celestials, I've gathered all EVA and gravioli scans for Kerbin, Mun and Minmus just in one flight, which gave me a whole lot of science (near 5000 points). The last but not least was Munar Space Station with Munar Landing Module, which was equipped with science container. That helped me to gather two copies of each experiment, one set was then succesfully delivered to Kerbin, another one is currently processing at Science Lab. These experiments, and some occasional flights with orbital probes and automatical landers on surfaces of Duna and Eve gave me the rest of science points to complete my science tree.

[@blitz3391]

I don't really understand something; I've done exactly the same rocket, the same turn, the same action, and i fall short of fuel each and every time . I can land on the moon, but don't have enough fuel to come back. If i look at just the begining, my two booster fall short of fuel about 2K me before his, and i have to ditch the first stage about 5 to 6K before him, and as a result i have to do a very long burn with the second stage, eating up half the fuel. I also notice his rocket seems to go way faster than mine, already near 2K m/s before getting to orbit, when i'm merely 1.5/1.7k.

[@kasterixprime]

I had the exact same issue. Recently got back into KSP, so I was looking for some refresher tutorials and found this. I watched the build and launch part of the video repeatedly to see what I was doing wrong... And whatever it was I couldn't tell you, but there was just simply never enough fuel to get back on any attempt following this build.

[@jitteryjet7525]

Small differences add up. It is hard to fly exactly the same way each time. Seconds count with small crafts. However consider this, it's a video so the content creator is able to show you their best attempt. Watch a live stream, the creators stuff up a LOT more often than you see in pre-recorded, dubbed videos.

[@dieseljester]

I'm having the same problem. I'm eating up too much fuel getting to orbit and getting to the Mun. So far I've been doing Munar aborts when my last stage gets down to 800 m/s since I need that much to get my Kerbals home. So... bigger rockets to get to orbit? More Fuel? Anyone have any suggestions?

[@jitteryjet7525]

@@dieseljester Just keep trying. If you want to get technical calculate your deltaV and thrust-to-weight ratio of your vessel, and adjust those parameters until they are correct. Make your TWR at takeoff at least 2 and preferably 3. It's usually the launch that burns up all the fuel. There are cheat-sheets on the internet that give you the deltaV at each stage. Personally I think it more fun to ignore the internet and succeed by trial and error and tuning my vessel.

[@dieseljester]

BanksiaMan Thanks! I’d rather not use cheat sheets and mods on my first play through. So the tip keeping TWR 2-to-3 might help me out. Here’s hoping! I’m about to go back into the game now to play around with my rockets. 😁

Dynetics Alpaca lunar lander looks surprisingly like the Mars Sky Crane if you dump the central habitat module. Perhaps it could be used to deliver cargo like rovers or other supplies. If you remove landing gear and add the deployable tether cables you could lower cargo and have your rocket engines at an angle and not kick up as much regolith reducing the risk of damage to the cargo. After the cargo touches down and the tethers cut it can return to orbit for refueling and reuse

The best part is after this a mun mission will be fairly trivial and you will go on to learn how to go to all the planets and moons and with mods stars

Thank you for this and other videos. I played ksp a few years ago for the first time and ksp2 has made me want to play again. I had no idea scientists could reset experiments so im going to be doing a lot more of them. Its a 50/50 wether ill continue my old file or start a new one. Keep up the great work

Hey, Matt, how did you get all of those SAS settings without a pilot kerbal?

[@sjoerdo6988]

I was wondering about this as well

[@sanebrackman1893]

@@StinkyScript what are you having troubles with, exactly?

[@StinkyScript]

sane brackman I have trouble with properly getting in orbit, however I am able to get in orbit. The part where I always fail is where I have to leave the orbit and go to the mun.

[@sanebrackman1893]

@@StinkyScript Alright, but I'm assuming you're following tutorials and the steps in this video as well, so once you're in a proper orbit of at least 70km (i like 90km for good measure, that's just me) what's going wrong? Because all you have to do is place a maneuver node, and solely and only use the prograde and retrograde instruments in the node, nothing else, and all you have to do is add prograde to your node until it reaches the Mun's orbit. After the lines of your node and the mun, are intertwined, just move your node around your own circular Kerbin orbit, until you find a mun encounter. now tell me if there's any problems that occur when you're trying to go through these steps?

[@patrickleblanc5106]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Everything you go over in this video was what I needed and I just got my first vertical moon landing :) Keep it up

[@bwblack5984]

Next could u do a space station tutorial for mun, minimum, or kerbin

[@Tuvok_Shakur]

you could take two 4 kerbal cabins, slap a cupola on one end with the tiny probodobodyne and a docking port SENIOR on the other side with docking ports batteries etc. and a large reaction wheel in the middle. Put that in munar orbit, then on your other side put a science module with a docking port SR. on one side, a 4 kerbal cabin with a cupola and a probe on the other, put it in orbit and dock, add modules as you go, thats how I did it

[@Joppe253]

There is a Flag on the Mun Highlands. Dedicated to the multiple crashes and flips because I thought you used three lander struts instead of four. Quick save is a life saver.

[@StupidNSimplesns]

Cheers for this video. I managed to do the entire mission on my own, but I REALLY needed that rocket design. For some reason I can deal with the whole mission part of it, the orbiting, the flights, the landings. But I cannot wrap my head around rocket design. I'll always end up building something that flips over or just doesn't have enough delta-v.

[@richs7062]

Just got KSP yesterday, first time ever playing it. It's extremely harder than it looks, especially on the XB1 version

I would say that if you were ever to play KSP the best experience would be on a PC and not an Xbox. Trust me, once you get a hang of the controls on PC it’s like butter

I landed on the mun with plans to build a base so I designed the lander to stay put. Left a scientist and now phase 2 begins. But realized I needed more science, so I had to go to Minmus. So now I have a lander on Minmus. Eventually I'll rescue him. Sacrifices were made, heroic Bill.

hey Matt Love your videos on KSP I just got it and it's sooo fun to play. I like your explanation to ksp you just make it easy to understand just keep on making more videos on KSP you have so nice videos just love it. and oh ys the lowne Aerospace playlist is nice and simple

[@drabberfrog]

You didn't give us enough Delta v! Now I'm stuck in orbit around the mun after landing and talking off. The rocket should be bigger and have more Delta v budget, especially for beginners that are watching this.

[@dewgone9577]

Tip: When you are taking off from the Mun, try to get a horizontal orbit because if you don't it will be impossible to get back to Kerbin with this design
