How to unlock the Rigidbody achievement in Outer Wilds - Definitive Guide

There is a small satellite orbiting your home planet a short ways above the planet's surface. To get the achievement you need to bump into the satellite with your ship to knock it out of orbit. You can get this as soon as you hop into your ship at the beginning of a loop.

Once you find the satellite, line your ship up so that you are moving in the same direction and try to get into an orbit yourself. If you can manage to get close enough you are able to lock onto the satellite and get the option to match its velocity, then slowly move towards it until you make contact.

If it doesn't unlock then bump into it and make it fly into the space NOT towards the planet. I couldn't get it when it crashed on the planet.

Once you can fly the spaceship on the home planet, you need to find the small satellite and bump into it to knock it out of orbit (It really is quite small). Personally, I was having a hard time finding the satellite. It turns out that the satellite is pretty close to the surface of the planet (at least much closer than I thought) and can be seen streaking across the sky as a light that looks kind of like a comet. Below is a video for those that may be struggling like I was.

This is not my video, I take no credit, I simply stumbled across in in my search to see how to find the satellite. All the credit for this video goes to KingDomrbc on YouTube.

The video was a very big help to find it. Just fly over the great geyser on the right, turn around and it will come at you in a short time.

Location: Timber Heart
Time: anytime
Special note: None

If you look to the sky in Timber Heart, you will see a small satellite. Use your ship to knock the satellite. It is quite small and quick, but you will manage to get it.

A small white satellite flies around Kamelka (sometimes it is visible, it sweeps quite quickly across the sky). In order to get the trophy, you need to fly up in your rocket to the height of his orbit and collide with him.

The clue is wrong! You don't have to collide with him (if he does, he'll fall to the ground and you won't get the trophy), but push him out of orbit! To do this, you need to fly not towards him, but rather follow him at the closest possible distance. Push it a little, thereby pushing it out of orbit into outer space.
