Can I get a crew transfer milestone with the EVA jetpack?
The transfer crew objective has this description:
Transfer any crew into any vessel from another mission in orbit of <body> to achieve this goal.
One thing this doesn't make clear is, do I really need to dock for this? Docking is of course the easiest method, but I could also, say, go EVA and jetpack between vessels. There are a few reasons why I might want to do this:
- If I don't have the technology for docking
- If I have a rescue target near the same body
- If I aborted a landing but have the fuel and space for a rendezvous maneuver before returning
So would this count?
Yep, you can! That's usually how I get the transfer milestones. One thing to consider: Depending on how it checks for the transfer, the rescue target combination might not work.
