====1.5.7 Orbital Insertion from Approach====
# Press “v” to display target approach velocity vector on the main display.
# Select Status: REFERENCE (toggle Tab key)
#* choose Reference object to the same as TARGET for orbital maneuvers (press appropriate key from Table 1.5.A)
# Select Status: CENTRE (toggle Tab key)
#* choose target as centre view point object (press appropriate key from Table 1.5.A)
# Adjust the approach velocity vector to approach the target slightly to the right side (for a ccw orbit).
## Press F1 for manual orientation.
## rotate the orientation of the [[AYSE drive]] to alter the approach velocity vector.
## manually re-orient the AYSE drive in the opposite direction to stabilize the approach velocity vector.
# The A to targ value will now read a bit low and will become more inaccurate the closer you get to the target since you are no longer moving directly towards it.
# Your goal is adjust thrust  to slow the Vhab-ref to the Vo ref velocity by the time your approach velocity vector is perpendicular to the direction to the target.  When this is achieved:
## stop the engine (Backspace key)
## You are now in orbit.
# Ensure that the Reference object is the same as the target.  
# Press F2 for automatic orbit ref orientation.
