While designing an IVA Apollo-style Mun landing mission, I designed this reliable method for rendezvousing orbiting ships using only the IVA view! No map view or maneuver nodes necessary.

For this method to work, the two initial orbits must be close enough that you can see the target marker for the other ship at the point of closest approach.

Thanks for reading, and let me know what you think!

This is a new chart that removes the need for a protractor to execute precision landings in the vanilla game.

NEW Landing data for other planets!

Simply drop your periapsis directly over your target (KSC) to the given altitude, and you'll land right there!

I included a basic sensitivity analysis as well, so you can have an idea of how much changing your periapsis height will change your final landing location.

Since setting the right periapsis height is really important, here's a data table with the data from the plot. Use this data to
