⟨lpg⟩ After about a year, the moon ate my first moon orbiter while I wasn't looking. As I try to find an older save from which I can watch the end, I wonder: would it be possible to _preserve_ the history of destroyed vessels for future viewing?

⟨egg⟩ hm, interesting prospect

⟨piodd⟩ what mass rocekt i need for geo orbit ?

⟨pEdro⟩ ⟪piodd⟫ what mass rocekt i need for geo orbit ? ⮪ between 18t and 350t

⟨piodd⟩ ach sorry i missclick chat screen

⟨DRVeyl⟩ ⟪lpg⟫ After about a year, the moon ate my […] ⮪ From the KSP plugin adapter side, should be. You can store arbitrary data nodes in the save. KSP ScenarioModule might be a good fit for this.
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ If such an option will be added, I really hope that it will be optional, so that I can disable it and keep the save size low
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ * savefile
<queqiao->
⟨DRVeyl⟩ Just for you, I'll ask egg to make it so you can only fix it with sfs editing.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Vessel trajectories are fairly small now, but vessels can pop in and out of existence when they land, which requires some care.

⟨lpg⟩ bonus points for viewing multiple histories at once, so I can see all my plane flights in one glorious squiggle

⟨Cirelion⟩ I'm looking for the minimum amount of dV I would need to get a orbit around Venus or Mars for example. I'm thinking about getting 400m/s would that be viable? Looking at dV maps (I know, I know they're inaccurate) this seems right?
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ ⟪Cirelion⟫ I'm looking for the minimum amount of […] ⮪ please just use TWP
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ I can't rely on that orbit though
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ ?
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ I just want to get a superclose flyby and then burn the minimum amount of dV needed to get a orbit for the contract
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ And the orbit I specify in TWP assumes circular no?
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ just get the values with orbit height set to desired periapsis
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ then calculate how much ∆V would be needed to raise apoapsis to desired value
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ +from that circular orbit
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ !calculator for that second step
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ So say I want a 150k x 6751k orbit I would go to a 6751k circular and then calculate from there?
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ I don't see how that makes sense, I don't start at a circular orbit, I never even reach that. I simply flyby around 150k and start burning retrograde untill I reach orbit.
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ Aside from the fact TwP seems to think I need 2k dV for my injection burn
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ * 2/2.5k
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ ask twp how expensive a capture to 150km cicular is. ask !calculator how expensive it is to raise Ap of a circular 150km orbit to 6751km. subtract.
<queqiao->
⟨Cirelion⟩ Ahhh that number makes way more sense, thanks!
