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->
⟨makoivis⟩ yup, but on the other hand tgt EO makes phasing rendezvous' a breeze
<queqiao->
⟨makoivis⟩ things seem to be working!
<queqiao->
⟨makoivis⟩ rebasing works, deleting flight plans works, optimization works

⟨issproxima⟩ So what's the best method to plan the matching velocity for rendezvous
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ using principia
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ or do you mean actually matching velocity? MJ RV- mode works ok
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ at least until the very final phase of rendezvous/docking, where the ships should be oriented to each other and turning to RV- is not an option anymore
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ or do you mean actually matching velocity? MJ smartass RV- mode works ok
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ at this stage I use docking controls and match things on the navballs manually in a hard to explain way.
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ * navball
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ * way, while both ships are set to TGT+ mode in MJ smartass.
<queqiao->
⟨issproxima⟩ I meant like in the picture above
<queqiao->
⟨issproxima⟩ I wanted to create a manoevre to zero out their relative velocity upon approach
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ can't create a maneuver, need to do it manually with MJ smartass using RV- mode
