How do I track an unknown object in Kerbin?

While viewing the tracking station, new icons named "Unknown Object" will periodically appear in the vicinity of Kerbin. If one is selected, clicking the Track button will give it a temporary designation and display additional information such as its class, orbital path, and any future interaction with Kerbin's SOI.

How do I untrack an asteroid in Kerbin?

While an asteroid is selected, an Untrack button is shown, which if clicked will discard the asteroid's name and data and return it to Unknown Object status. Unknown objects will eventually disappear as they drift away from Kerbin .

What is KSP tracking?

The KSP object tracking algorithm is able to track an unknown and varying number of objects. Unlike other related methods, it operates on the full set of potential target locations, and not just on the detections themselves. This characteristic allows it to handle missing detections and false positives well.

What is a multiple object tracker?

This code implements a multiple object tracker based on the k-shortest paths algorithm. Its input consists in a set of probabilistic occupancy maps, that is , for every time frame, a set of occupancy probabilities, one for each of the potential target locations. Such input data is usually produced by an object detector.

Real life missions

The high level of realism in Kerbal Space Program allows to recreate historical, current and future missions of human spaceflight. These missions start simple and become gradually more complex, so they are a great way to learn KSP.

What level is the Tracking Station Hex?

Level 1: the Tracking Station hex is available as an area biome.

Can you control a craft in Fly?

Fly will switch the view to the selected mission. If it is either a kerbonaut on EVA or a craft with a working command module, it is also possible to control the craft. However, even if it cannot be controlled, it can still be switched to, so it is possible to view the surroundings. This works even with flags.

Can the tracking station detect asteroid?

In version 0.23.5 the tracking station became able to detect asteroids. While viewing the tracking station, new icons named "Unknown Object" will periodically appear in the vicinity of Kerbin. If one is selected, clicking the Track button will give it a temporary designation and display additional information such as its class, orbital path, and any future interaction with Kerbin's SOI. The asteroid will also become visible in space while controlling vessels, where it can be selected as a target for maneuvers .
