Running the orbit script

The orbit script makes the following assumptions:

• The first stage uses solid fuel boosters
• There's enough fuel available to get into orbit
• The stages are in the following order:
  • Solid boosters
  • Decouple & boost liquid fuel

Running the orbit.py script directly will launch the two-stage rocket into orbit.

(venv) $ python orbit.py

You can also import orbit.py and set the direction of the orbit and target altitude in meters:

import krpc
import orbit

connection = krpc.connect(address=ip_address)
vessel = connection.space_center.active_vessel
orbit.launch(connection, vessel, orbit.HEADING_EAST, 80000)
