egg changed the topic of #principia to: Logs: https://esper.irclog.whitequark.org/principia | <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly…

⟨Fiora⟩ actually on that note, how do people do transfer calculatoins in principia? do you use the mechjeb calculator, copy it into principia, and tweak it?
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ being off "100+ m/s" sounds to me like something went wrong
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ rsparkyc wrote this guide: […] ⮪ The short version is: you probably want to get an idea of the windows from somewhere else, then playing with the reference frames and the noodles
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ So I guess it is no longer quite as open loop?
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Being off 100+ m/s is definitely weird then.
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ ⟪egg⟫ So I guess it is no longer quite as […] ⮪ Leaky-loop guidance?
<queqiao->
⟨Fiora⟩ actually might have been less than 100m/s, i should test it again to be sure. i guess the difference between 34.8mm and 35.7mm isn't that huge
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ it's quite small
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ (m != M…)
<queqiao->
⟨Fiora⟩ * 34.8Mm and 35.7Mm
<queqiao->
⟨Fiora⟩ anyways i think i got the gist of it, ty!
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ ⟪Fiora⟫ actually might have been less than […] ⮪ That’s going to depend on the periapsis, but with a periapsis altitude of 500 km, it looks like it’s more like 15 m/s.
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ it's also been my experience that the executor tends to overshoot rather than undershoot
<queqiao->
⟨lamont⟩ egg can you load up a maneuver node's "patch" attribute (which i'm assuming is the next patch after the maneuver node executes in stock KSP) with the osculating orbit post-burn?
<queqiao->
⟨lamont⟩ so osculating orbit at your computed burnout point
