⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ ⟪Nazfib⟫ The first burn is exactly the same as […] ⮪ just had the chance to sit down and do this... absolutely great explanation and tutorial really! in doing it I really started to understand plotting frames so thanks

⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ in 90 days it turns into this

⟨Itspats (solid lv enthusiast)⟩ ⟪YaBoiAnt⟫ in 90 days it turns into this ⮪ try setting the reference frame to "earth centered inertial"

⟨test_account⟩ I don't think this orbit has 0 inclination
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ Ideally you want to see a point in ECEF, or a very small circle
<queqiao->
⟨test_account⟩ Which would mean the craft is actually stationary with regard to the surface, which is the point of the orbit. Anything else means it's not stationary.

⟨egg⟩ ⟪test_account⟫ Which would mean the craft is actually […] ⮪ Nothing is actually stationary on that timescale though, unless you are at one of the stable longitudes.

⟨egg⟩ It might be interesting to look at the orbit analyser to see how much this is drifting.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ ⟪YaBoiAnt⟫ is this good enough? I assume I can […] ⮪ It looks reasonable; it might be interesting to look at the orbit analyser to see how much this is drifting over various time scales.
