Tutorial:Free Return Trajectory
Going to the Mun is one thing. Going there and landing is another. But getting there, and back with just 2 burns? That's really quite challenging! This tutorial will provide you with all the tools but practice, to get you to the Mun, and then back for free.

Table of Free Return Insertions
Note: This table is incomplete, and would benefit from addition! Figures in orange are not necessarily fully representative of successful range.
| Altitude at burn (m) | Successful altitude range at Apoapsis (m) |
|---|---|
| Above 75,000 | 14,250,000 - 15,000,000 |
Final word
In all, you used 2 burns.
1. Get into orbit 2. Transfer into Free Return Trajectory
This is a super efficient way of performing a Munshot. Those "who know" about these things from an expert perspective have said that on the instrumentation we have, this is impossible. PakledHostage and Rascal Nag on the forums proved that wasn't the case, and now we can all get out there and do it! Good luck all, please feel free to edit this tutorial if it needs it. It's been put together quickly so that people can get using it!
Thanks for reading
