10:38 <queqiao-> ⟨daverec1525⟩ With a (perhaps very few) planet pack makers out there, supposedly they test their custom systems in either universal sandbox, or KSP+principia, and tweak their system until it can be stable for at least a century or a little more.

10:56 <queqiao-> ⟨digitrd⟩ So im slowly getting to orbit, first satellite soon, is there something i should watch out launching them out of guyana? I just got principia

10:59 <queqiao-> ⟨Joshua Wood⟩ LEO isn't any different reall

11:00 <queqiao-> ⟨Joshua Wood⟩ +sun-sync orbits are cool but kerbalism doesn't care AFIK

11:01 <queqiao-> ⟨digitrd⟩ Can you have an orbit where youre always in sunlight?

11:02 <queqiao-> ⟨Joshua Wood⟩ it's call sun-synchronous but i don't think kerbalism cares and still sims it like normal

15:24 <queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ Yes you can. As mentioned, that would be a sunsynchronous orbit, but a crepuscular version of one.

19:46 <raptop> New way to improve Principia gravity field quality? https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.15728

19:47 <raptop> Trying to better solve Kepler's Equation: https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.15374

22:01 <queqiao-> ⟨digitrd⟩ uhh i have a problem with principia, i sent my sat to orbit but i cant leave it, it says its under acceleration idk what to do

22:04 <queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ not a principia problem, phantom forces problem aka the 🐙

22:04 <queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ try going to space center and back?

22:05 <queqiao-> ⟨digitrd⟩ i cant cuz its under acceleration

22:05 <queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ hmm yes... alt-F4 to close the game I suppose

22:05 <queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ hope it's not simulation? if you do that in sim the save may break

22:06 <queqiao-> ⟨digitrd⟩ not sim luckily lol

22:06 <queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ was the probe rotating?

22:06 <queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ +(quickly rotating)

22:07 <queqiao-> ⟨digitrd⟩ spin stabilized, i found a way out though

22:08 <queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ too fast rotation sometimes results in this kraken

22:08 <queqiao-> ⟨digitrd⟩ just in case someone else needs it, i made a quicksave and then exited the game, it spawns you at KSC

22:09 <queqiao-> ⟨digitrd⟩ okay i was worried i was being dumb with principia missing something

22:09 <queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ more likely bugs in the game or unity I think

22:11 <queqiao-> ⟨test_account9540⟩ Rotation is buggy, principia fixes it but there are still issues with fast rotation and especially rotation under physics warp. Even 2x physics warp creates wobbles in otherwise symmetrical and fine spin-stabilized craft.
