<queqiao-> ⟨clayel⟩ are there any guides on how to do that? do you have to do it at a specific time or place in your orbit or something?
<queqiao-> ⟨clayel⟩ * is there any info
<queqiao-> ⟨ashnoom⟩ how accurate is the "transfer window planner" with principia?
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg4999⟩ sufficiently
<queqiao-> ⟨ashnoom⟩ figured my issue out, I had the wrong inclination. I assume the TWP to use the given orbits inclination. But apparantly it can launch higher than the parking orbit
<queqiao-> ⟨aldi⟩ LAN and angles work about right. Tend to find I need an extra 100m/s on what it suggests for ejection delta v
<queqiao-> ⟨ashnoom⟩ _potential_ parking orbit
<queqiao-> ⟨ashnoom⟩ That is indeed what I just figured. I launched to correct inc, and I hadd to add ~100m/s for a venus transfer
<queqiao-> ⟨ashnoom⟩ first launch I launched to a different inc, (given parking orbit inc) and I had to add ~2000m/s, and the flight duration changed from 205 to 150 😮 and I was like, this can't be right
