Flight Question Getting into a good orbit

[Rocketman379]

For 2 days i have been working on getting into a good orbit but havent done so well. I am able to get into LEO pretty well but I would like to be a little further away any advice?

Could you give some more detail like what ship you want to use and what do you mean by a good orbit? Is it an orbit with an ecc of 0?

Once in LEO, you can burn your engines for a bit longer. It'll throw you higher, but your velocity will decrease. Once you're at the high point, you burn again to circularize your orbit.

Burn prograde to raise the altitude of where you will be on the other side of your orbit. Retrograde burns lower that altitude.

So to get into a higher orbit you burn prograde so your orbit at the other side of the planet is the altitude you want. Wait until your ship rises to that altitude and burn again to raise the rest of your orbit to the same altitude (that is circularize your orbit).
