02:22 <discord-> n​eph. — My lunar orbiter got its perilune thrown out to 180km from 90km. No more sweet low lunar science for me. #justprincipia+kerbalismthings

06:40 <discord-> S​ir Mortimer. — reboost!

06:55 <discord-> n​eph. — I injected with unguided solids and will do no such thing :p it's at Newton's mercy now

07:01 <discord-> S​ir Mortimer. — lol

07:02 <discord-> S​ir Mortimer. — getting it to orbit with solids is no small feat 😃

07:23 <discord-> B​utcher. — @egg there is an implementation of my proposal in my github fork. It might need some updating though.

10:58 <discord-> K​obymaru. — Wow, the "Early CommSat Network" contract is the most annoying one ever with principia

10:59 <discord-> K​obymaru. — it needs actualy babysitting and phase corrections during the 2 day testing period

11:05 <discord-> K​obymaru. — Finally!

11:05 <discord-> K​obymaru. — And never again

12:05 <discord-> l​pg. — now consider the GPS network in your future

12:28 <discord-> e​gg. — However, remember that the stationkeeping requirements for GNSSes, as derived from their mission, are quite lax; in fact for GPS, because the orbit is semisynchronous and therefore heavily perturbed by resonances with tesseral terms of the geopotential, they let them drift quite a bit (they are irregularly spaced along their nominal planes, and satellites that are notionally in the same plane may be a

12:29 <discord-> l​pg. — I suspect the rp-1 contract isn't taking these subtleties into account 😃

12:29 <discord-> e​gg. — that just means that the contract is unrealistic and that @Sir Mortimer and I will have to come up with something better as part of https://github.com/Kerbalism/Kerbalism/wiki/Satellite-Contracts though :-p
