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…

⟨cloach⟩ Does anyone know of any mods that make Kerbin + the other plants of the default game system oblate? so you can set up some sun synchronous orbits etc with principia. As I understand you can do this kind of thing with RSS but I'd prefer of keep the Kerbals in their natural habitat as it were.
<paculino>
Sigma dimensions might allow scaling only certain axises? Retrograde Bop might not be the only stability requirement to include then, however, even if this works.

⟨steinsgate0000⟩ hello ppl principia is so hard😭
<queqiao->
⟨kingparity⟩ i was super confused for a while but honestly i found it easier once i got the hang of it
<queqiao->
⟨aebestach⟩ Does kerbin have a sun-synchronous orbit?
<raptop>
No, you need an equatorial bulge.
<queqiao->
⟨aebestach⟩ thanks
<queqiao->
⟨Damien⟩ ⟪cloach⟫ Does anyone know of any mods that make […] ⮪ Yeah there's a principal config for stock kerbin that gives it oblateness, mascons etc
<queqiao->
⟨Damien⟩ * principia
<queqiao->
⟨Damien⟩ Not sure exactly where but it'll be on the principia wiki somewhere
<queqiao->

⟨Damien⟩ ⟪steinsgate0000⟫ hello ppl principia is so hard😭 ⮪ It is. But like a lot of things, it's only fun when it gets hard
<queqiao->
⟨steinsgate0000⟩ ⟪Damien⟫ It is. But like a lot of things, it's […] ⮪ fr but I have no idea on how to optimize my flight plans with principia
<queqiao->
Like everything is totally different from stock’s 2-body
<queqiao->
⟨steinsgate0000⟩ I am now struggling with the different references frames
<queqiao->
⟨Damien⟩ ⟪steinsgate0000⟫ I am now struggling with the different […] ⮪ That's the main thing to get a hang of
<queqiao->
⟨Damien⟩ It makes a lot more sense then
<queqiao->
⟨Damien⟩ Read the wiki
<queqiao->
⟨cloach⟩ Okay thanks I'll have a ferret around see if I can find it.
<queqiao->
⟨Damien⟩ Yeah there's a principia config for stock kerbin that gives it oblateness etc
<queqiao->
Is it likely someone has such a config file I could steal? Kinda looks like most ppl using principia are also using RSS so I won't hope too much.
<queqiao->
Still I'm prepared to wait a little while before I bestir myself to non-laziness.
<queqiao->
⟨cloach⟩ * looks
<queqiao->
⟨nazfib⟩ Yes; egg linked to such a config file earlier

⟨test_account9540⟩ One dimensional might work I think. How […] ⮪ Tried to literally use the algorithm manually for a Venus mission. It worked, although adjusting dV 1m/s looks a bit too granular, but surely the approach can be improved further.

⟨test_account9540⟩ Here TWP ejection dV is 4062 and an impact trajectory was found with 4120.
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ * 4120, varying only prograde dV (in 1m/s steps) and time (precisely).

⟨clayel⟩ lifting re-entry usually only prolongs your entry by a few hundred km, going for a stretch in the pacific ocean should be fine (i mean, not even in irl do we get perfect predicted landing spots, but instead a line of where a capsule is likely to come down)
