<queqiao-> ⟨ashnoom⟩ I wonder, how does one plan a transfer with gravity assist, for example earth-Venus-mercury
<queqiao-> ⟨ashnoom⟩ Is that simply a case of "research real launches"
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ Flyby finder might help
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ Real launches with gravity assists are far too complicated
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ (except the voyager one i suppose, here you basically must research and copy it)
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ * ones i suppose, here you basically must research and copy it, as there isnt much choice)
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg4999⟩ not much choice if you just want to replicate voyager, but it gets more interesting if you want something more grand-tour-y
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ They already visited 4 planets in one mission, can you do more 🤔
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ Unless maybe you launch before the voayger date and visit something else and then get into voyager window, not sure how to do that
<raptop> Incidentally, I swear I've seen people want to blindly copy the Galileo or Cassini flyby sequence with the Kerbal solar system
