I need some orbital math help
<raptop>
Is this in kepler-land, or...?
<X>
I'm playing dyson sphere program.
<X>
The orbits are only delinated in terms of orbital inclination and the longitude of the accending node along the equator
<raptop>
eccentricity = 0, all have the same semi-major axis?
<X>
Yes
<X>
They're all spherical orbits, and I want to figure out how translate orbits in their system so I can make orbits that converge at different points around the star.
<X>
Basically, I want to make it so there's 5 orbits who differ in their orbital inclination locally by 36 degrees converging at the points of a tetrahedron around the star.
<X>
I just figured out in my head I can put two of them at the equator so I don't need to do any math there.
<X>
So all I need to do is figure out 5 orbits becuase I can just mirror them in the negative.

I mean, I assume all I need to know is the distance beween the start and ending location and then use exciting angles to calculate where it crosses the median of the sphere, and then round to the nearest degree.

What is the point of living if you can't be confused from random ovals?
