How to Achieve Orbit in Kerbal Space Program

Achieving orbit in Kerbal Space Program (KSP) requires careful planning and execution. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve orbit:

1. Build your rocket: First, you need to build a rocket that can reach space. Make sure it has enough fuel, powerful enough engines, and a stable design.

2. Launch your rocket: Once your rocket is ready, it's time to launch. Make sure to angle your rocket towards the east to take advantage of the rotation of Kerbin, which can help you achieve a higher altitude and velocity.

3. Gravity turn: As your rocket ascends, start to gradually turn towards the east. This is called a gravity turn and will help you maintain your altitude and speed while also conserving fuel.

4. Accelerate to orbital velocity: Once you reach an altitude of around 70km, start to accelerate to orbital velocity. This means reaching a speed of about 2,250 m/s for a circular orbit around Kerbin.

5. Circularize your orbit: Once you reach your desired speed, use your engines to circularize your orbit. This means making sure your apoapsis (highest point in your orbit) and periapsis (lowest point in your orbit) are the same distance from Kerbin's center.

6. Fine-tune your orbit: Use small adjustments to fine-tune your orbit, so it's as stable as possible. You can adjust your thrust or use your reaction control system (RCS) to make small corrections.

7. Re-entry: Once you're ready to return to Kerbin, make sure to point your rocket retrograde to slow down and begin your descent. Use your heat shield to protect your spacecraft from the heat of re-entry.

With these steps, you should be able to achieve orbit in KSP. It may take some practice to get it right, but with persistence and careful planning, you'll be exploring the Kerbal universe in no time!
