Hi There,
I apologize in advance if this has already been posted, but I couldn't find anything when I did a search (Possibly because I don't know the proper terminology).
So I set off from KSC runway with the XR5, and achieved orbit, matched it with the ISS, then got ready for plane alignment.
However, I looked on the map screen, and noticed that we're actually travelling in the opposite direction to the ISS (ISS is travelling from east to west, we're travelling west to east).
My first question, if I use sync MFD to sync the orbital (trajectory?) will we still be travelling in the opposite direction, or will it be a long process of getting the direction the same as well?
And my second question, if we're travelling at the opposite direction, is it still possible to rendezvous with the iss and dock successfully? or would it take an ungodly amount of fuel to slow down so that I don't pass it?
Obviously I know it seems like I may have to re-land and re-launch at the correct direction xD
Many Thanks,
NT
