To the Mun (Tutorial) Part Three: Back to Kerbin

In our last session, we covered an Ikerbus-Kerbysseus flight to the Mun, from launch through to landing on the Mun.  Today I'll describe the flight back from the midlands craters of the Mun to a safe landing on the desert lakebed of Kerbin.

To the Mun (Tutorial) Part Two: Travel to the Mun

Good day, ladies and gentlekerbs, and welcome back to this overview of the Ikerbus-Kerbysseus Mun exploration program.  My name is Bob Kerman, and in this session I'll show you how we fly our rocket to the Mun.


This image from the main display in the command center shows our preferred launch window.  We see Kerbin in the foreground, with our rocket on the launch pad at the Kerbal Space Center shown by a little capsule icon.  In the backgroun we can see that the Mun is about 10 degrees below the horizon, or an hour or so before Mun rise on this particular night.  By launching with Kerbin and the Mun in this configuration, we will give ourselves an efficient course straight to the Mun after launch.
