How Hard Can It be

This article is a list of tutorials that will guide you through the finer points of the Kerbal Space Program.

Please note that these articles are user-created, and each user is responsible for their tutorial.


For a high-level overview of the basic game mechanics, you can read this Game Manual by thecoshman.

A less detailed "cheat sheet" type reference is available as Basic Maneuvers.

Rocket And Probe Design

Orbiting/De-Orbiting

Historical Missions

The high level of realism in Kerbal Space Program allows to recreate historical missions of human spaceflight history. These missions start simple and become gradually more complex, so they are a great way to learn KSP.

Planets and Moons

Mun

Minmus

Eve

Duna

Laythe

General Information

Add-on Development

Stubs

Creating New Tutorials

To create your own tutorial, start with Tutorial:Template.

Note to tutorial writers: These are supposed to be tutorials. Think "Orbits for Dummies." If you're going to explain intricate details (including math!), consider marking your tutorial "Advanced".
