FLIGHT MANUAL

1. 01 / BOOSTBACK

   Turn toward Starbase, then burn to reverse the flight. Bring the blue arrival marker onto the tower’s arms and cut the engines.

2. 02 / COAST

   Follow the steering arrow and keep the engines off. AIR LOAD shows how strongly the air affects control. Small tilts matter more as the load rises.

3. 03 / CAPTURE

   Brake, stay upright and align with the arms. The guide advises; you control every burn. The engine bank switches from 13 to 3 on final approach.

← → / A D

Steer relative to the camera.

SPACE / BURN

Hold to fire at the selected level. Release to cut.

SHIFT / FINE

Fine burn, up to 8%. Takes priority over the main burn.

Q / E

Adjust thrust by 1%, including while burning.

T / X

Speed up time / return to normal time. Steering, thrust and approach restore ×1.

V / WHEEL

View the return trajectory / zoom.

C / DRAG

Change camera / look around. Double-click to recenter.

The blue trajectory estimates your return after turning and braking. VIEW / PIN keeps the Starbase camera open; AUTO restores automatic opening. Advanced view adds secondary trajectories and detailed telemetry.

A catch requires less than 6 m position error, less than 10° tilt, vertical speed below 28.8 km/h, and lateral speed below 21.6 km/h. Ground, sea or tower contact: RUD.
