raptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Fréchet. We currently target 1.5.1, 1.6.1, and 1.7.x. <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly… | <egg> also 4e16 m * 2^-52 is uncomfortably large

meme man 維ぞ易. — I'm really sorry, I'm just a noob when it comes to Principia - how do I get to orbit (with a target apogee and perigee, that is. I can't seem to control it)????

Myshiko. — Principia works very well with 1.7.3.
<discord->
Myshiko. — @meme man 維ぞ易 are you interested in LEO orbit?
<discord->
Myshiko. — If all you care about is getting to low earth orbit, it’s not much different from the patches conics - burn twice to control AP/PE.
<discord->
Myshiko. — With Principia you AP and PE does drift, it it does not matter for most of the practical purposes
<discord->
Myshiko. — With Principia you AP and PE does drift, it it does not matter for most of the practical purposes of Apollo 11 - like missions (edited)
<discord->
Myshiko. — To get to the moon, burn again, third time. With some proper timing, this will get you ether to the moon fly-by or free return.
<discord->
Myshiko. — Near moon, burn again to get to moon orbit, and etc
<discord->
Myshiko. — For Apollo 11, practice docking on Earth LEO first, orbits around 1000 km are the best for docking practice
<discord->
Myshiko. — Principia allows you to preview the results of maneuvers via planning button
<discord->
Myshiko. — Use it to time your burn and amount/direction of burn.
<discord->
Myshiko. — Regarding MechJeb - it only complicated things unnecessary, I recommend not even using it, as it wrong more times then it’s right.

Myshiko. — Just keep a stock of RCS fuel to perform trajectory corrections after major burns
