egg changed the topic of #principia to: Logs: https://esper.irclog.whitequark.org/principia | <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⟩ ⟪siimav⟫ Why isn't there a link to the Principia […] ⮪ Added a link to the readme
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ ⟪@irch_esper_raptop:matrix.mockingbirdnest.com⟫ It might be worth putting on the IRC […] ⮪ > <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell outsounds more important, and IRC /topics have fairly short limits.

⟨Infernal⟩ in order to get a sun synchronous orbit you need a nodal precession of 1 degree per day right?
<queqiao->
⟨Quadrupole⟩ Yes. +0.985 to be exact.
<queqiao->
⟨Quadrupole⟩ * +0.986
<queqiao->
⟨Infernal⟩ thanks, guessing there is no way for principia to show the nodal precession to more decimal points?
<queqiao->
⟨von Kerman⟩ doesn't orbit analyzer show it?
<queqiao->
⟨Infernal⟩ it shows it to two decimal point
<queqiao->
⟨Infernal⟩ *points
<queqiao->
⟨von Kerman⟩ so the precision is 0.01 degree
<queqiao->
⟨Infernal⟩ yeah
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ What if you change to Earth centred, sun aligned?
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ ⟪Stonesmile⟫ What if you change to Earth centred, […] ⮪ it is called Geocentric Solar Ecliptic now
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ Yes, yes, I've had little time to actually play in the last few months 😛
<queqiao->
⟨von Kerman⟩ The orbit analyzer also shows the "mean" LAN. If this precesses, I suppose the value will change if the orbit analyzer is run for a longer duration. It might be possible to calculate the exact precession over a long period this way 🤔

⟨Infernal⟩ do flight plans save if you switch away from the vessel? similar to how it works in stock?
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ Yes, the flight plan is restored when you switch back
<queqiao->
⟨Laufer⟩ I downloaded the transfer window planner that was pinned
<queqiao->
⟨Laufer⟩ but I am having trouble finding it in game
<queqiao->
⟨Infernal⟩ mechjeb and principia dont seem to agree as to what LAN my current orbit is in, which should I believe?
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ Use MJ, principia uses a different (but correct IRL) reference point from which LAN is meassured
