raptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Galois. We currently target 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
uovo is now known as egg

JJ_Bikz. — Would someone be able to explain to me how to align the craft to the Principia flight plan.
<discord->
JJ_Bikz. — I've done a bit of searching on google and a little in this discord. all i could find is this MAGIC put on navball button that i cant seem to find. I've messed the setting but cant get is to appear.
<discord->
Damien. — @JJ_Bikz upgrade tracking station and mission control
<discord->
Damien. — Or seeing as your manoeuvre is only prograde just align to that
<discord->
JJ_Bikz. — yea for that maneuver its simple i was just testing stuff to see if i could get it to work
<discord->
JJ_Bikz. — thanks ill try that out tomorrow. Does it say that in the wiki because i read the wiki and other pages and didn't see that. am i blind?

Kitten Dispenser. — are KAC launch windows at all accurate for Principia?
<discord->
Kitten Dispenser. — i think i'll be going interplanetary soon, and it's daunting since i've never done that with principia before
<discord->
Kitten Dispenser. — I'm mainly concerned with the timing of the launch
<discord->
Kitten Dispenser. — I'm mainly concerned with the timing of the launch, since there weren't any Venus-bound launches around the time I'll be launching (edited)
<discord->
Damien. — @Kitten Dispenser TWP is roughly accurate but not precisely so
<discord->
Damien. — because it has no idea what inclinations are

Zeusbeer. — what kind of topics in maths/physics do you need to understand for "kepler au gps" ?

Zeusbeer. — asking for a friend :magic:

badgermasher. — It doesn't seem too intense, the foreword claims 'freshman level', but that of course is a pretty broad statement.
<raptop>
which freshman? (I assume that means you can start with ~calc I?)
<raptop>
Hrm, it has a bunch of keplerian sections
<discord->
badgermasher. — I'd hesitate to put it in terms of specific course names. What my Calc I contained is likely very different from another Calc I at a different institution.
<discord->
badgermasher. — I think we actually had three different 'Calc I' classes at my institution.

some analytic methods of integration and differentiation, using a knife on a cone, the usual
<discord->
egg. — yeah and you can also just take the results of the mathier bits as a given and look at the parts about "why pick that kind of orbits" for themselves, in which case you need very little maths background

...there is the problem that my math background doesn't cover terms like "affine" or "orthonormal" though

Damien. — @Zeusbeer I'm completely mathematically inept and I found it an interesting read. The words and pictures did a decent enough job
