reb space outpostFollow

I am currently doing the civillian protection missions and have finished all the non-faction based ones. Now I am supposed to report to the rebel outpost in space, but I can communicate with it. I have approached it within 200m and targeted with "c" and then tried pressing "\" but this doesn't seem to work. all it does is target the station's reactor. How do I continue my mission?

Target with "C" then hit Shift+C
