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.
  • For a logical series of missions that build up your knowledge, check out Campaigns.

Rocket and Probe Design

Orbiting/De-Orbiting

Plane and Spaceplane Design

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. For a logical and progressive list of missions, goals, and milestones that may or may not have tutorials linked, check out the Campaigns article to get ideas in planning your own space program.

Planets and Moons

Mun

Minmus

Eve

Duna

Laythe

General Information

Creating New Tutorials

To create your own tutorial, start with Tutorial:Template. When adding to the Category:Tutorials add the name of the tutorial (like in the template) to sort the pages without the prefix Tutorial:.

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".
