I’m using trial and error to understand orbital mechanics in the game.... which takes forever.

Could some kind person please explain how I can align the inclination of my rocket to the sat in the last mission? I can circularise the orbit no bother, but I end up with only 2 points of intersection and my attempts to correct are making it worse.

    The grey arrows clearly see in the screenshot @Nayldleo

    @plane918273645 we are having trouble with this same issue. We can not get our rocket to my in same orbit as sat. We tried to follow your suggestions but not sure what placing node on the arrows means. Also we cannot adjust our satellite because it has no fuel. thanks

    Using the satellite (in future) place your node on one of these arrows
    Set gizmo align to “new”
    Use RED tabs to adjust inclination and GREEN for eccentricity once you have 0 on both you have a perfect orbit ready for docking! , you can learn that on my forum.

    Make sure to adjust the inclination on the points where your orbit intersects the orbit if the other satellite.
