Orbits - inclination and interception


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am having trouble grasping a concept here.

In the picture I have a sat at 90^ 300km. The highlighted blue orbit is 45^ at the same height. What do I need to do to have the line sit at the red circle?

Thanks in advance,

If I understand you correct: Set the equatorial craft as Target to get the Descending Node and Ascending Node. Burn Normal or Antinormal at those nodes to match the inclination. Hope that helps. Play around with maneuver nodes to see what I mean, after you set your target orbits craft as Target (by right clicking the craft icon in map view) The DN/AN numbers is what you want to see and get down to 0.0°
