Re: SpaceX set to launch humans from US for 1st time since 2011

Pardon me if it is a noob question.
In my second attempt, I was able to reach but couldn’t dock. The green diamond would vanish when I was very close.

Any pointers?

Successfully docked and already the next crew is getting ready for August launch with the legendary Soichi Noguchi[/url] San (JAXA Astronaut and one of the most experienced astronaut).

@Procastinator: You need to point the centre of your crosshair (of sorts) in the middle. Make sure that all the values (on all four corners of the bigger circle are less than or equal to 0.2 deg. You have a lot of rest inertia in all three axes. Until this is under 0.2 you will not able to dock successfully.

1. When you are far away, try to correct the roll and maintain it between 1 - 2 °

2. As you move further, try to stabilize the yaw and do corrections only in the pitch axis.

3. The thrusters can be operated in two modes (high del V and low del V) indicated by brown and blue dots (respectively) around the centre of your control area. Use high delV when are larger distances and low del V at closer distances.

General idea is, the closer you get, the more finer corrections that need to be performed. Remember, the space station is also moving in the orbit and you need to constantly correct for that too.

Hope it helps.
