⟨clayel⟩ should be in the orbit analyzer

⟨rutexgreat⟩ Im sorry, but how you guys add a maneur node to a navbal?
<queqiao->
⟨Joshua Wood⟩ you need tracking station and mission control upgraded iirc
<queqiao->

⟨donkitus⟩ I’m doing early lunar probes and don’t have restart capable engines yet. The lunar window planner and Mechjeb assume that I place the probe into a parking orbit first, which I can’t do, does anyone know how to plan when to launch for a direct burn to the moon?
<queqiao->
⟨drveyl⟩ Your "payload to orbit" includes the engine and fuel to go from LEO to the moon.
<queqiao->
⟨test_account9540⟩ Direct burn to the moon isn't supported by any ingame tools, there is no way to calculate the launch window and the burn to the moon itself. Just add another stage that you put in parking orbit and then send to the moon.
<queqiao->
⟨donkitus⟩ That’s unfortunate but thanks for letting me know, I’d been looking online for a while
