00:28 <discord-> n​9gaming. — To slightly display something that would be extremely beneficial to interplanetary planning: In Map View, I really wish I could "Focus View" on a Planet, and "hide" the trajectories of Moons at will. Doing a sim here, but I can focus my vessel and be this close to Mars - the Moons won't render their trajectories:

01:16 <egg|anbo|egg_> whether the trajectories of celestials are shown or hidden is currently delegated to KSP (we show them if KSP would show the orbits), this is likely very clunky. We should look at that someday. Open an issue?

01:42 <discord-> E​ggElectron. — What's a good way to calculate the inclination required for a good sun synchronous orbit at a given altitude and eccentricity? I could copy a real frozen orbit but am curious to try the calculation, and don't have enough delta-v at this stage in my RP-1 career to copy one. Thank you

01:59 <discord-> E​ggElectron. — Can you use principia to calculate the inclination required for a perfect sun synchronous orbit at a given altitude?

07:41 <discord-> S​tonesmile. — I *think* so, you want the LAN to change by 1° per day, which might be shown in the orbit analyser

07:42 <discord-> S​tonesmile. — I *think* so, you want the LAN to change by 360/365.25° per day, which might be shown in the orbit analyser (edited)

07:58 <discord-> E​ggElectron. — Can the orbit analyzer analyze orbits from later parts of your flight plan?

07:58 <discord-> S​tonesmile. — Yes, it can analyse the end of the flight plan

07:59 <discord-> S​tonesmile. — found in the flight plan window I think

07:59 <discord-> E​ggElectron. — Thank you.

08:04 <discord-> E​ggElectron. — Thank you. I'm super curious about the math that relates apoapsis, periapsis, eccentricity, inclination, and nodal precession, which I realize is all embedded in principia, but I realize this isn't necessarily the place to ask about how to start down that rabbit hole. If there are pinned resources on that, though, then please let me know. (edited)
