[1.0.2] How is this not reasonable enough?

[Jenteb07]

As the title says...

A contract to put a satellite into orbit, As you can see in the screenshot, the orbit parameters are as asked. I had other sat contracts being achieved with bigger deviations.

Am I Forgetting something?

And yes, I am orbiting in the correct direction.

That's a big orbit, I don't think you've quite gotten "Marginal Deviation" yet.

I know, doing that without maneuver nodes SUCKS, but you're gonna have to start fiddling with it until it recognizes your orbit as "marginal deviation"

Compare you periapsis and apoapsis to the readings on the contract.

EDIT:

Are you 100% sure you're orbiting in the right direction? The arrows are not what you should be looking at.

Well, My KER readouts are, as you can see very close to the asked readouts

This happened occasionally in 0.9. I think the solution then was something like jumping to the tracking station and back or reloading the game and jumping to the craft.

[Starwhip]

Your periapsis is like 400 meters off, try fixing that.

[Merandix]

Are you going the right way? That mistake is ridiculously easy to make. You are moving counterclockwise in this image, do the dots move clockwise?

Being within a few km is still fine, the orbits don't even need to overlap as neatly as yours, hence I'm suspecting you're going the wrong way.

[Starwhip]

Your apoapsis is also a kilometer from the designated position.

[Jenteb07]

Well, I took the risk of switching to the tracking station (I did not want to do it before doubting the "launch a new vessel" parameter) and going back, the contract was accepted immediately.

Thanks!

btw, when a retrograde orbit is wanted, the inclination needed would be >180°, no?

[Red Iron Crown]

Orbit is definitely in the right direction, the inclination would be much different otherwise. Try exiting out to the tracking center and then returning to your satellite.

Edit: Lulz, nice ninja. Orbital inclination cannot be >180 degrees, retrograde orbits are those with inclination between 90 and 180 degrees.

[Merandix]

You are obviously completely right. Apparently, I'm just that much more stupid than you. (Guess where my advise to check direction came from )
