Once your docking ports are very close (or touching) they will magnetically clamp to each-other and you will have successfully docked. W S will be used to move forward and backwards, A D will be used to move left and right, ⇧ Shift and ^ Ctrl will be used to move up and down. Activate RCS (the default key is R) and the controls will be very similar to the EVA controls. What is happening now is that docking port will be seen as the "center" of your ship. Right click the docking port on your ship and hit "control from here". Also keep an eye out for how your ships will connect and make sure you won't run into solar panels or other modules on your approach. Remember to toggle any docking-port covers if necessary.
#UDOCK AND OTHERS HOW TO#
To dock with a nearby object (see Tutorial:Orbital Rendezvous or the basic maneuvers page for how to rendezvous with another object in orbit), start by rotating your ships so their docking ports are facing each-other. This mode requires that the craft is fitted with RCS (or it will do nothing). In docking mode your main engines are shut off and your normal WASD controls map to RCS translation maneuvers instead. The faintly purple button around the bottom left corner of the screen (just below the green staging button, and above the blue map button) sets your ships into docking mode.
