How to do it:
_
- First of all, start a new loop and fly with your ship towards the sun like shown in the video

- Then, you stop speeding up for a short time and rotate your ship, until the left line is matching with the Hourglass Twins

- Fly towards the sun again until u reach a distance of 3500-4000 meters

- You stop at this point and wait

- When the Sun Station comes from the left, you fly immediately straight to the right and a little bit towards the sun

- If you are near enough, you can target the Sun Station about the oval-shaped roof

- Land on this roof (otherwise the Sun gravity won't allow you to leave ur ship and you will have no movement ability)

- After landing on the roof, just take your suit and leave your ship the normal way (you can also use the ejection seat as well)

- You will see the door you have to go through to get the Achievement

- Do slooowly little taps towards the door until you will enter

- After reaching the Sun Station manually, go to the middle of the corridor to get your Achievement :)

Great guide, got it on the second attempt.
Had tried other methods but hadn't even got close to the sun station!

So glad my knowledge of orbital mechanics really helped me with this one.
Top tips for those who are still struggling:
- If you are flying off, you are probably going too fast prograde (In the direction of your movement)
- If you fall to the Sun, you are probably going too slow prograde (or too fast retrograde, in the direction against your movement)
- To maintain a fast orbit above the Sun Station you need to be accelerating towards the Sun Station/Sun (Radial-in)
You can slowly creep closer to the ship from behind or in front and above. Then to "Park" your ship, put it exactly in the center of mass of the Sun Station and 0 your velocity relative to the target. It will likely still move though given how perfect you would have to get it in such an extreme environment.

I managed to explore the Sun Station and even board my ship after 2 minutes just 20 seconds before the Sun Station was swallowed. It did have a peculiar orbit, however, but I know I didn't park it well.
