Will my kerbal from orbiting minmus still receive xp after he has planted a flag?

I landed my kerbal on minmus and he planted a flag. Will he now receive xp for just orbiting it?

How to plan for a Mun encounter "in front" of the Mun, I always seem to get one "in back" of the Mun.

So, I can't ever seem to get a Mun encounter where the spacecraft encounters the Mun in front of it rather than from the back. It's neat for flybys since it seems to be really easy to get a free return trajectory with little dV use, but this mission was supposed to first get to low Mun orbit and then land as training for the crewed attempt at both, for which I heard a moon encounter from the front of the Mun is better. While I did manage to land, I had to use way too much fuel, to the point the probe would not be able to take off again. While it's not a problem for the probe it would be a rather severe problem for the crewed mission. As such, I wanted to ask how to get to that Mun orbit?

Hey i play on a modded ksp and i have finally started playing career mode. Sadly some of those nodes are completly unreachable. I can't even unlock the orion drive. Is there a fix to this? I only have community tech tree installed

Help with weird rocket physics.

So I build a multi-launch ship to get me landed Duna and back and after getting all 3 parts to the ship docked in an orbit around Kerbin and setting up a maneuver node to get me to Duna I tried to boost at the node and the ship had weird physics as shown in the video. I have no mods installed. As a note I was not pressing any keys to control the ship and have even gone as far as disabling all control of the ship via toggling off all reaction wheels. The only thing that made it fly straight was undocking the lander and fuel.

EDIT: After using the engineer I had on the ship I managed to rearrange the docking ports to be inline and it now works. Thanks to eveyone who responded and gave me pointers.

What is wrong with my xp?

I got an orbit around kerbin, but not flyby? How come? Also, I apparently didn't get xp for landing on minmus or the mun, which is crazy because I literally have. Do probes take away the landing experience? It also says i never did an orbit around any planet except for kerbin, even though I have orbited around minmus and the mun. Is there something specific i need to do?

Obscure bug once again

Well I wanted to post cool photos from the mission but this might be better. It does this for some reason whenever I undock the lander, which is weird bc I already undocked to land on Duna before. Also idk what that structural adapter is doing xd, Ike has an evil aura or something

Hatch obstructed??? Please help!

I have IVA if any of yall have that, but either way it wont let me EVA from this hatch, its no different from the one on the opposite side and that one works fine. Please help!!!

What did I do??

I'm on Minmus with a rover taking a surface sample of a rock formation when my rover tips over and Neilbin bets thrown in the air and just stuck layers above the ground.. Is there any way to get over this, or rather, under it

Not sure if tech support or general question

Edit: I tried the comments and watched more YouTube and TikTok videos on how to fix and ended up losing the save

Very Successful (In my opinion) first trip to Duna

After some struggles that some of you may know if you have seen my previous post I made it to Duna and back for the first time with some very rewarding science points.

All Hatches Are Obstructed???

All hatches are obstructed, but there's nothing there except the pod, solar panels on the side, docking port, and a probe core under the docking port. This was working on another version of the same ship a few days ago in KSP, but now it's saying all ports are blocked?

Has anyone else had this issue and if so, please help on how you were able to get over it

This is stock KSP, no mods

Update: u/Carnildo in r/KerbalAcademy solved the problem. Aparently the scanning arm can mess with the door blocking calculations

Newish player here, is this literally all I need for a comms network?

Hey all, I've started messing around with probes and I found out the hard way that I need a way to send signal to and from Kerbin for that to work, so I'm trying to understand space comms networks

The way I'm doing this, I'm sending many small probes into orbit with nothing but relay antennae, batteries and solar panels, so that at least one is always visible from anywhere in space. I'm playing in science mode, so rather than trying to optimize the number of probes, I'm just planning to send more of these into orbit at various altitudes and in various directions so that a few are always visible.

My question is: is this really all I need for a working communication network? Will probes automatically connect to it now? And how far can I send stuff with it? I'd like to send unmanned probes around every planet eventually and I wonder how far they can get before I lose control

(Again, I'm playing science mode, I don't care much about optimizing it, I want first to get something that works and to understand the game more)
