<queqiao-> ⟨Sewer Clown⟩ I'd rather ask for just bite hte bullet instead of not asking for help but..So this is on 'ECEF' mode, but when I switch modes, it looks rather normal..
<queqiao-> What's the cool reasonable explanation for this eye sore?
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg⟩ the earth rotates
<queqiao-> ⟨Sewer Clown⟩ To ECEF is based on the earth's rotation? Or at least its POV

<queqiao-> ⟨ProtonEnjoyer⟩ ECEF is referencing the earth's surface perspective
<queqiao-> ⟨ProtonEnjoyer⟩ by it's equator and rotation, etc.
<queqiao-> ⟨ProtonEnjoyer⟩ While in orbit of the earth, if you hit ECEF you'll understand better
<queqiao-> ⟨ProtonEnjoyer⟩ Kind of as if "one orbit you'll cross africa, next you'll cross moscow"
<queqiao-> ⟨ProtonEnjoyer⟩ afaik ECEF "Earth Centered-Earth Fixed"
<queqiao-> ⟨leudaimon⟩ A good example is the bunch of diagrams of the predicted decay location of the long march 5 upper stage in the news the last couple gets
<queqiao-> ⟨leudaimon⟩ * days
<queqiao-> ⟨Mayo⟩ ECEF should be used if you are trying to land somewhere

<queqiao-> ⟨(ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟshells)⟩ ECEF is used when you are doing things that involve the Earth. These include ground station passes, Earth observation and imaging, launch and landing, etc.
<queqiao-> ⟨(ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟshells)⟩ In ECEF, a geostationary satellite is fixed and does not move. Hence the name geostationary.
<queqiao-> ⟨(ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟshells)⟩ ECI is an inertial frame that you are probably used to by now since it's used in stock KSP. Orbits in ECI "look normal" (e.g. are Keplerian conics: circles, ellipses, hyperbolæ) since the frame is inertial and non-rotating
