silly question for egg: are gravity missions on the roadmap in some way? (inspired by seeing https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.02790)
<raptop>
I assume that this is something where any craft in any orbit can do a bit, though a dedicated one would be best (hi, GRAIL)

JustMozzie. — i just tried to quicksave and quickload, because my screen blacked out while planning a node, and the game is frozen now.
<discord-_>
JustMozzie. — anyone else having this issue?
<discord-_>
JustMozzie. — is it normal for my lunar impact missions that i am going over the apogee of the moon because i am not doing a mid course correction or is there a more effecient way to get an encounter with the moon?
<discord-_>
JustMozzie. — here are some screenshots of my flight plan
<discord-_>
Zeusbeer. — It works, only do it if your probe has enough electricity for the longer journey though
<discord-_>
Zeusbeer. — Does the orbit analyzer feature orbit duration for solar orbits too? I want to try a EVM mission using multiple flybys of Mercury
<discord-_>
Zeusbeer. — To eventually get an efficient capture of Mercury
<discord-_>
JustMozzie. — i believe so
<discord-_>
Zeusbeer. — I want to spare my pc doing some basic orbital resonance calculations 😅

Zeusbeer. — After getting to mercury I just burn retrograde at mercury till I get an encounter in the next 500 days

egg. — Well, contrary to UV where the cutoff is the atmosphere, NIR vs. Visible is just the sun being a bit too warm to give us much there, so it’s fuzzy and not very physically meaningful
<discord-_>
egg. — so yes, Visible Deluxe

Butcher. — My normal mercury plan is to pack a lot of fuel. 🤔
<raptop>
consider: a solar-thermal rocket for the mercury insertion burn
<discord-_>
Butcher. — I don't think we have those. 😐

Zeusbeer. — I just need a way to match inclination, I think you can use Venus for that too
<discord-_>
Zeusbeer. — To an extent
<discord-_>
Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they). — A lot of fuel is easier for planning at least
<discord-_>
leudaimon. — Yeah, iirc real missions use the first Venus flyby to match inclination
<discord-_>
Zeusbeer. — I just have to figure out how to do it and I think I can get a decent mercury mission going
<discord-_>
Butcher. — Yeah they don't want to push a huge rocket into orbit to get there direct.
<discord-_>
Butcher. — My mercury rockets were the largest by far in my long term career.

egg. — Now with pushbroom imaging (the satellite images a strip perpendicular to the orbital plane, instead of a spot below the satellite (most of which would be highly redundant with earlier and later images). This means that sunglint creates actual holes in your data (which wasn’t the case in the earlier image ; unglinted data was gathered up or down the track on the same pass)
