Holy what is that 𒀱 symbol? It looks quite interesting.
<kittyblam>
It is quite nice being able to view things like this well, I remember when I was on windws 7 and whatever font stuff I had set up had not enough unicode support lol

Cuniform is weird

(I say, having discovered the hard way that the American Astronomical Society's name badge system can't handle it)
<kittyblam>
oof
<queqiao->
⟨rocketman⟩ kind of amazing that computers can display it
<queqiao->
⟨rocketman⟩ actually, it's very cool that most can display character sets from all over the world
<queqiao->
⟨rocketman⟩ so, egg, did you end up verifying that example of the Лидов–古在 effect around mercury?

⟨egg⟩ yes, see backlog for graphs and pull request #3113
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ My probe is the best probe. 😉
<queqiao->
⟨Serina⟩ *flail* I'm having big issues finding interplanetary windows
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ Transfer Window Planner?
<queqiao->
⟨Serina⟩ o.o that works for principia?
<queqiao->
⟨Serina⟩ like roughly?
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ It uses the stock orbit, but if you use it close to the window, it gives a good enough approximation
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ There is also a version pinned in #ro-general that gives the parking orbit LAN
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ I use it, it's pretty good for the window timing.
<queqiao->
⟨Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ Has the experience changed plans for future Mercury-bound probes?
<queqiao->
⟨Serina⟩ Holy crap that should be pinned here
<queqiao->
⟨Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ It is not possible to pin a message from another channel
<queqiao->
⟨Serina⟩ I was trying to use RSS flyby finder but it just seems to find very interesting low energy transfers that require really specific ejection orbits then assumes you can figure out how to enter into those orbits
<queqiao->
⟨Serina⟩ there was apparently an addon for Mechjeb that helped you with that but the addon is borked atm
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ there is nothing Principia-specific about transfer windows (and this channel is not RSS-specific conversely), so #ro-general seems like a better place
<queqiao->
⟨Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ I would have guessed you would use kos again
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ I use that for the actual launch calcs (i.e. to get me the correct LAN).
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ I like that TWP works from the space center scene though.

⟨Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ A neat gif someone showed me that fits well here (it is Jupiter-centric, but the image is cropped each frame to center the sun so it all fits) (edited)

⟨rocketman⟩ someone really needs to do this mission in principia
<queqiao->
⟨Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ That would require having those Greeks and Trojan and main-belt asteroid all in-game
<queqiao->
⟨rocketman⟩ aye
<queqiao->
⟨rocketman⟩
<queqiao->
⟨rocketman⟩ someone should do it
<queqiao->
⟨Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ Are you volunteering?
<queqiao->
⟨rocketman⟩ nope, and I'm not saying that anyone will but it's a fun idea to think about
<queqiao->
⟨rocketman⟩ nope, and I'm not saying that anyone will or should but it's a fun idea to think about (edited)

⟨NewfieStargazer⟩ Guess that answers my question then from last night...
<queqiao->
⟨NewfieStargazer⟩ Above...
<queqiao->
⟨NewfieStargazer⟩ How accurate will interplanetary transfer planning be using Principia, a “probe” in a plane (9.74 degrees relative inclination) of the moon, and using Mechjeb Maneuver Planner - Advanced transfer to another planet? (edited)
