⟨nvv⟩ Is there some way to visualize a spacecrafts orbit without actually launching it (given the initial orbit)?
<queqiao->
⟨nvv⟩ * after a burn(given
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ without launching from the launchpad - no
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ guys i installed principia but i cant seem to get mech jeb ascent to work with it (prime vector guidance)
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ There should be no difference with PVG compared to not having Principia installed
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ Unless by ‘PVG’ it was meant ‘transfer to the Moon from the Cape’

⟨VELIKAN⟩ ⟪Al₂Me₆⟫ Unless by ‘PVG’ it was meant ‘transfer […] ⮪ yh i use cape caneveral and launch into plane of target am i doing something wrong?
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ The moon is never as high as the cape, when principia is installed
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ right so what should i do?
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ when should launch to be inlen with moon?

⟨Nazfib⟩ One of the effects of Principia is that the inclination of the Moon's orbit now varies in an approximately 18 year cycle. During most of this cycle, the inclination is too low to be able to launch into its plane from the Cape. The fix is to either plan an off-plane transfer (there's a helper mod for this in #testing-needed), or to use a different launch site (such as Kourou) which is closer to the equator.

⟨VELIKAN⟩ ⟪Nazfib⟫ One of the effects of Principia is that […] ⮪ i did try doing it during june - august similar to apollo programs
<queqiao->
⟨Nazfib⟩ June-august of which year though? Besides, the Apollo missions didn't launch into the plane of the Moon either, as far as I know.
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ ⟪Nazfib⟫ June-august of which year though? […] ⮪ oh for real ?
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ how did they do it?
<queqiao->
⟨VELIKAN⟩ and also whats the name of the helper mod

⟨Nazfib⟩ Launch into an orbit that intersects the plane of the Moon, at the location where the Moon will be when you get there.

⟨Nazfib⟩ Launch into an orbit that intersects the plane of the Moon, at the location where the Moon will be when you get there. In other words, align your AN or DN with your apoapsis

⟨Butcher⟩ ⟪Nazfib⟫ June-august of which year though? […] ⮪ Apollo did not align, nor least because going for a higher inclination transfer reduces time spent in the van allen belts
