<queqiao-> ⟨goblijn22⟩ Yeah low lunar orbits are pretty unstable the moon’s gravity is a bit wonky due to the terrain and it changes orbits but higher orbits work better iirc
<queqiao-> ⟨goblijn22⟩ I also think it being polar might be playing a role
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ (It’s not actually stable, the periapsis goes from 983 km to 49 km over that year.)
<queqiao-> ⟨goblijn22⟩ From what I’ve interpreted from my experience with nbody the moon does not like low orbital spacecraft, 983 is pretty high for a circular orbit, atleast from what ive done
<queqiao-> ⟨goblijn22⟩ My spacecraft just sit in orbit until like 30 orbits before a crash with KAC
<queqiao-> ⟨goblijn22⟩ Then i just do a boost to get it back to a normal orbit
<queqiao-> ⟨goblijn22⟩ Not very efficient but im lazy and dont want to learn those super rare stable orbits

<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ That's accurate to RL. As seen here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lunar_orbit&wprov=rarw1
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ The moon hates satellites except in certain 'frozen' orbits
<queqiao-> ⟨vendiaren⟩ how can i install principia for rss rp-1
<queqiao-> ⟨vendiaren⟩ do i just paste the gamedata to to game files?
<queqiao-> ⟨vendiaren⟩ thanks

<queqiao-> ⟨tastethecake⟩ Guys I’m getting back into realism overhaul after a while, should I jump straight into principle
<queqiao-> ⟨tastethecake⟩ * principia
<queqiao-> ⟨haysox⟩ I did! I figured the learning curve of moving to rp-1/RO was big enough that the addition of principia wouldn’t make a huge difference to how difficult it was to get the hang of. So far I’ve been right but only cause I haven’t gotten to a point where principia actually makes a difference
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ Most of the learning curve of RP1 is before principia starts to have any impact on the game. So you learn RP1 first and principia later.
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ Principia does have an impact on the lunar missions though, so it might be better to start from kourou.
<queqiao-> ⟨siimav⟩ However Kourou doesn't help with keeping probes in stable Lunar orbit.
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ Well this is an advanced task!
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg4999⟩ it's siimav single reason for hating principia, don't take it away from him
<queqiao-> ⟨lpg4999⟩ * siimav's
<queqiao-> ⟨butcher6994⟩ Imagine not using a high latitude launch site
<raptop> Well, you can use Sriharikota instead of Kourou
<raptop> So your options are curry or baguette. (Skip the gators)
<queqiao-> ⟨tastethecake⟩ Alright, now I just need to figure out what kOS launch script to rip
<queqiao-> ⟨tastethecake⟩ * use lol
<queqiao-> ⟨naautilus⟩ can i align my rocket with the horizontal line in GSE/MEO before launch as a method of aligning with the moon
<queqiao-> ⟨naautilus⟩ is there a more accurate way
<queqiao-> ⟨naautilus⟩ plus how do i get launch inclination for a moon launch
<queqiao-> ⟨razgriz16⟩ Use the Lunar Transfer Planner mod
<queqiao-> ⟨naautilus⟩ oh alr thanks
<queqiao-> ⟨person0977⟩ i don't know where to ask but can someone guide me on how to install principia properly, or give me a link to the wiki or instructions?
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ Yes. Assuming that your launch site does cross the moon's orbit. It doesn't always
<queqiao-> ⟨person0977⟩ is real exoplanets compatible with principia and version 1.12.5?
