A polar orbit is one in which a satellite passes above or nearly above both poles of the body being orbited (usually a planet such as the Earth, but possibly another body such as the Moon or Sun) on each revolution. Kerbal Space Program > General Discussions > Topic Details. At its most basic, the ascent into polar orbit is exactly the same as an equatorial one but instead of turning east your turn north (or south, doesn't really matter). Apr 28, 2015 @ 12:49pm Scanner needs a stable polar orbit ok so I keep getting this message: You must be in a stable polar orbit between 60km and 1500km to perform an orbital survey. Mission: MapSat Kerbin I Mission Objective: Launch a mapping satellite into Polar Orbit around planet Kerbin at an altitutde of 100km Launch Vehicle: Draco One – download Payload: MapSat One – download Mods: ISA MapSat. It therefore has an inclination of (or very close to) 90 degrees to the body's equator. The only real complication is that you have to compensate for the eastwards velocity that you always have while on the surface of kerbin. what am i doing wrong. … I get my orbit around kerbin at about 100,000km and 109,000km.

KSP [Mission One] Mapping Satellite into Polar Orbit around Kerbin.

ive been playing KSP for … But it just doesnt sound like KSP not to inform us about it or write it down somewhere, it doesnt say ♥♥♥♥ in the contract about it:@ As rudimentary as this sounds, you'll notice there's little glowy nodes all going the same direction on the proposed orbit the game wants you to reach.
