Stations with orbit making move too fast
I have to land on HARTSFIELD PLANT from POTRITI for my 1st mission but the plant is moving really fast due to potriti's orbit, and i do not have any gravity and i can not use my landing pad. Do you have an exeplenation or even a solution?
PS:it is my first day playing the game.

As you fly to the station in Supercruise, wait until your destination is about 6 seconds left before impact. Then pull your throttle back to the blue region. Once you do so, the game will automatically slow you down to reach the target at a safe speed.
NOTE: This does not mean you will land in 6 seconds. Once you have more experience there are more aggressive (and fun) ways to approach faster, however these risk overshooting your target and having to do it all over again.

Can you feel the speed at which the ISS travels?
