For one contract, I'm supposed to recover someone stuck in orbit. I've done it with the grabbing arm but I want to know if it's possible to get the lost guy to board a ship with an empty seat. Tried to sync orbits and take control of him but game doesn't let you do that. There doesn't seem to be any right-click options concerning it either. Any help appreciated.

Best Answer
Yes, you are able to do this. The most important thing to know is that you have to get your ship within ~2.5km in order for the stranded Kerbal to load. Once that's happened, you can switch over to him using [ or ]. After that, it's a simple matter of guiding the Kerbal to your rescue ship and returning to the surface successfully. No right click needed, or anything like that.
