How To Use Jetpack In Kerbal Space Program. In the Kerbal Space Program, the Jetpack is a very useful tool for performing EVA activities, and this guide will explain how it works in detail.
Players in Squad’s Kerbal Space Program space flight simulation game will inevitably want to send their astronauts on extravehicular activities in space at some point. In the Kerbal Space Program, moving Astronauts around outside their ship necessitates accuracy and delicacy, as well as cautious use of the jetpack. This guide will teach gamers everything they need to know about jetpack transportation.

Step 1: EVA
Getting the Kerbals off of their ship is the first stage in launching the jetpack. Mousing over one of the Kerbals on their display in the lower right corner of the screen and hitting the “EVA” button will achieve this. This changes the player’s control of the ship to direct control of that Kerbal, who will appear clinging onto the exterior of their pod’s hatch.
Step 2: Master The Art Of Letting Go
Of the vessel. If you let go of the ship by pressing the spacebar, the astronaut will relinquish their grip on the hatch, which will result in their falling if you do so on a planet. If an EVA planned while on a planet, make sure there are ladders near the hatch on the ship. Because there is no gravity in space, this isn’t an issue. The “W”, “A”, “S”, and “D” keys can used to move Kerbals forward, backward, left, and right while on the ground.
Step 3: Space Steering
By pressing the spacebar while in space, users can make the Kerbal they’re piloting face directly away from the camera. The jetpack activated by pressing the “R” key, and it may guided forward, backward, left, and right using the “W”, “A”, “S”, and “D” keys. The “Shift” and “Control” keys can also used to move it vertically up and down. While travelling, keep an eye on the Orbital Map to see how your jetpack movements are affecting the Kerbal’s orbit, as falling out of orbit or drifting into the path of another orbiting object could result in significant damage or death.
Step 4: Returning To The Ship
When the Kerbal has done exploring space and has to return to the ship, players must navigate them back to one of the ship’s hatches and latch onto it using the spacebar. After then, the player merely needs to press the “B” key to re-enter the spacecraft, which will reassign control to the Kerbal as soon as he or she enters it. This method can also used to transport Kerbals from one vehicle to another, both in space and on the ground.
Kerbal Space Program is currently available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
