<queqiao-> ⟨clayel⟩ hm, how come this perfect test of a sso isnt fulfilling the contract? the eccentricity always stays far below .02, yet it doesnt tick the marker
<queqiao-> principia and ker (which doesnt know about principia obviously) both agree that the eccentricity is below .02
<queqiao-> ⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ The contract requires an eccentricity _between_ 0.02 and 0.04. IMO if Principia says it's SSO it's reasonable to cheat-complete the contract.
<queqiao-> ⟨clayel⟩ OH
<queqiao-> ⟨clayel⟩ +hm, arent irl sso orbits supposed to be near perfectly circular? why would it be between, and not less than?
<queqiao-> ⟨clayel⟩ i mean i cant imagine that irl satellites would _want_ to be slightly off from circular
