I’m trying to write a Rendezvous and Docking script to automate the Rendezvous Challenge. Ive already figured out how to find the orientation of my own craft using vector maths. But now I need to figure out the orientation of the target Satellite (more specifically the orientation of one of its docking ports) and I have no idea how! Please help me!!!
You can do it while you’re targeting the docking port by subtracting the target positions (the docking port) from the target craft position. This will give you a vector for the direction of the docking port, but it will only work if the port is in line with the center of mass.
