UmbralRaptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Fuchs. We currently target 1.5.1, 1.6.1, 1.7.x, 1.8.1, and 1.9.1. <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

egg. — yeah, though at least in first iterations this will be heavily limited by « whatever parts Sir Mortimer finds »
<raptop_>
Fair
<raptop_>
For transferring energy to a sensor, we're generally in a photon counting regime, I think?
<raptop_>
(minimum energy as in, eg: IR can't get across the silicon bandgap)
<raptop_>
I think
<raptop_>
Eh, we can check with mofh
<discord->
egg. — yeah but again, temperature-dependent detection thresholds
<raptop_>
yeah
<discord->
egg. — because noise is a thing, and cooling actually matters for mission & orbit design

IceWater. — So I've got the timing down for a moon transfer and have a good TLI burn setup. I'm having trouble stopping the burn at the correct time. Is there a way to execute the burns more accurately. Can Mechjeb execute them? I've also heard there is a mod to slow down time that could help

IceWater. — I downloaded time control and it works for 1.8.1. Still can't hit a lunar flyby of 5Mm by stopping the engines on time even at 1% speed. Is it even possible, or do i need an upper stage that can make corrections during the flight?
<discord->
Kirk. — Don't bother trying to stop your engines, just create a trajectory that burns them to completion
<discord->
Kirk. — I managed to impact the moon 5/5 times in my last career using an unguided solid kick stage

IceWater. — @Kirk Nice, thanks for the tip. I had thought about doing that, I guess ill give it a try. I was just hell bent on getting that trajectory perfect!

egg. — zip the log?
<discord->
egg. — or at least send the FATAL
<discord->
Jceratops. — Ah
<discord->
egg. — (that one should be tiny and sometimes it is enough to tell you what is wrong)
<discord->
Jceratops. — there doesn't seem to be one
<discord->
egg. — what is there in the glog\Principia directory then?
<discord->
Jceratops. — Oh your talking about in the glg
<discord->
Jceratops. — glog folder
<discord->
egg. — you have read the FAQ, haven’t you ?
