Tracking Station/es

La nueva estación de seguimiento desde 0,22

La GUI estación de seguimiento en 0.20

La 'Estación de Seguimiento' es el edificio situado en el Centro Espacial Kerbal (Kerbal_Space_Center/es) en Kerbin dedicada al acceso, la observación, la cancelación y la recuperación de todas las misiones activas, incluyendo los amerizajes o el desembarque de naves (craft/es) y residuos ( debris). No incluye misiones estrellados o finalizados contrario. Cuerpos celestes también se pueden observar en la Estación de Seguimiento.

En la cámara del Centro Espacial, la Estación de Seguimiento es el edificio redondo con tres discos parabólicos girando en un triángulo que rodea el edificio. Las coordenadas de la estación de seguimiento son aproximadamente 0˚ 07 '37 "S, 36 74˚' 19" W (a partir de la 0,21). Antes de la actualización de 0,21, una sola antena se encuentra en la parte superior de la estación de seguimiento. El modelo de colisión para cada uno de las antenas de rotación es una esfera.

Usage

The tracking station's main display is similar to the map view, with the main addition being a list on the left of the screen displaying every mission (craft, kerbonaut on EVA or Extend-o-matic Series A1 Deployable Flag) in the game. At the top of the screen are a set of buttons which can be used to filter out different types of mission; by default, everything except for debris is shown. A single type can be selected using the left mouse button, and other types can be added or removed from the selection using the right mouse button. Information and physical statistics about the currently selected object are available through the buttons on the right like while in map view; craft have a crew manifest (if crewed), while bodies have a short description.

Once a mission is selected, several actions are available to the player.

Fly will switch the view to the selected mission. If it is either a kerbonaut on EVA or a craft with a working command module, it is also possible to control the craft. However, even if it cannot be controlled, it can still be switched to, so it is possible to view the surroundings. This works even with flags.
Terminate will destroy the vehicle. If the vehicle had a crew, they will be killed and listed as “lost” in the Astronaut Complex. This option is disabled if recovery is possible.
Recover will recover the vehicle from the world and keep the crew on the duty roster, returning them to “Available” status. This action can only be performed if the mission is located anywhere on Kerbin and has come to a halt, including splashdown in the ocean. It also returns all science gathered but not yet transmitted.

Asteroids

Unknown Object info

In version 0.23.5 the tracking station became able to detect asteroids. While viewing the tracking station, new icons named "Unknown Object" will periodically appear in the vicinity of Kerbin. If one is selected, clicking the Track button will give it a temporary designation and display additional information such as its class, orbital path, and any future interaction with Kerbin's SOI. The asteroid will also become visible in space while controlling vessels, where it can be selected as a target for maneuvers.

While an asteroid is selected, an Untrack button is shown, which if clicked will discard the asteroid's name and data and return it to Unknown Object status. Unknown objects will eventually disappear as they drift away from Kerbin.
