<queqiao->
⟨rsparkyc⟩ station keeping my earth moon l2 probe is such a pita. What makes that funnier is that I came here to type this so I could just vent, only to find out that you were already talking about station keeping.
<queqiao->
⟨rsparkyc⟩ what I find funny is that to get the most bang for my station keeping maneuver is that I go through the following steps:
<queqiao->
1) Execute the previously planned maneuver to the best of my ability
<queqiao->
2) Set the sun as my target, point at it, and spin up (since I have fixed deployable solar panels)
<queqiao->
⟨rsparkyc⟩ +3) fine tune with random RCS thrusters to figure out which one makes the least change (and hence the most precision) to my new orbit
<queqiao->
⟨rsparkyc⟩ then repeat in about 20 days
