<queqiao-> ⟨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
<queqiao-> ⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ is this good enough? I assume I can always just come back and make tiny adjustments if i wanted to
<queqiao-> ⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ in 90 days it turns into this
<queqiao-> ⟨Itspats (solid lv enthusiast)⟩ ⟪YaBoiAnt⟫ in 90 days it turns into this ⮪ try setting the reference frame to "earth centered inertial"
<queqiao-> ⟨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.

<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ ⟪Itspats (solid lv enthusiast)⟫ try setting the reference frame to […] ⮪ that would be deeply uninteresting, since you would just see a massive and somewhat thick circle.
<queqiao-> ⟨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.
<queqiao-> ⟨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.

<queqiao-> ⟨YaBoiAnt⟩ is there a way to set a maneuver node right at periapsis/apoapsis or descending nodes?
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ Can be done by adjusting maneuver time. No automation though.
