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…
<queqiao-> ⟨kraimoco⟩ orbit
<queqiao-> ⟨makoivis⟩ The biggest reason to go back and forth is that when you’re fiddling with the burn to fall into moon’s gravity well, it’s easy to lose track of “grazing” the orbit of the moon and instead end up intersecting it.
<queqiao-> ⟨makoivis⟩ I spent like an entire evening before I got my first ballistic capture
<queqiao-> ⟨makoivis⟩ Now it’s easy
<queqiao-> ⟨thunkii⟩ the next lunar standstill will be in 14 months. soon you too can launch into the moon's plane from Florida or Texas!
<queqiao-> ⟨makoivis⟩ okay so screenshots of plotting a ballistic capture
<queqiao-> ⟨makoivis⟩ set up a burn of about 3200+ m/s, depends on the time of year
<queqiao-> ⟨makoivis⟩ move the time around until you see this start to happen
<queqiao-> ⟨makoivis⟩ looks something like this in SEL. There are many variations with different periods.
<queqiao-> ⟨makoivis⟩ and looking at EML you want to "fall down" from top left.
<queqiao-> ⟨makoivis⟩ bottom right also works
<queqiao-> ⟨makoivis⟩ See: but rotate to the left 90 degrees
<queqiao-> ⟨makoivis⟩ it's fiddly.
<queqiao-> ⟨sumguy62⟩ toob
<queqiao-> ⟨makoivis⟩ fancy toob
<queqiao-> ⟨robbibi_⟩ What inclinations can you end up on with a ballistic capture?
<queqiao-> ⟨makoivis⟩ pretty much any
<queqiao-> ⟨makoivis⟩ you can go for an NRHO but all I've ever really managed is a lissajous orbit because I only started learning this last week
<queqiao-> ⟨robbibi_⟩ Can even visit polar moon bears?
