Flight Question Can I refill fuel after docking to ISS

[tsp]

Hello. It may be a totally noob question with an easy answer but I'm curious about such thing is possible or not? My aim is to take a delta-glider to ISS, dock and refill fuel there for a moon landing. Or should I simply start from scenario "Docked to ISS"? But first option is more amusing for me if it is possible.

regards,

Yes, it's completely possible. I do it all the time, but I use the XR-2; I've never tried it with the stock DG, but you should be able to refuel once you reach the ISS. Keep in mind, though: if you wish to leave the ISS directly for the moon, you'll have to either do a HUGE plane change burn to align your orbital plane with the moon, or wait for a good launch window to do an off-plane transfer.

Also, in the future try searching for answers to your questions before you post. This question has been asked before.

I don't think stock DG has such a future, I couldn't find how to do it. But I did a search for this question and also couldn't find. I think I am terrible at serching :facepalm:, therefore I am not hundred per cent sure.

Knowing XR-2 such a feature is a relief and thank you for your answer and valuable tips.

If you use [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4725"]ReFuel MFD[/ame] you can transfer fuel from the stock DG to the ISS and vice-versa. I've also used it to refuel the ISS.

I have also added [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2650"]simple tank payload 2.5[/ame] to my ISS to provide more fuel as the default is about 5,000kg which isn't very much at all.

That's what I exactly wanted! I'll give it a try. Thank you very much :thumbup:.
