Hey guys. I'm trying to plan a mission to Duna. Launch would be around day 26. Alex Moon's calculator states ejection angle 24 to prograde, delta V of 2002 m/s at phase angle of 124.11degrees. Yet when i set up a node with those parameters, I don't even get a close approach. Any advice is welcome.

So since I've started playing I've somehow never launched a proper mission to other planets (other than the odd probe). I got back into KSP a while ago thanks to adding a pile of mods that add the depth I was after (mainly everything and anything USI and Near Future) and I've now decided that a massive mission to Duna sounds like a plan to step up from my multiple 20 kerbal colonies on the Mun and Minmus. Currently I'm figuring something along the idea of a Martian style mission - probe dropped supplies ahead of the mission with a minimum duration on the surface of 30 days (just cause).

I can't find any information on how to get from the surface of Minmus to Eeloo. Are direct transfers not possible? Do I really have to jump back down into Kerbin orbit? The launch window planner calculators won't calculate a transfer between Minmus and Eeloo, and I'm kind of clueless. Do I just need to do trial and error? I can't imagine I'm the only person in the history of this game to want to try flying to Eeloo from the surface of Minmus—yet I haven't found anybody asking about it here or on Reddit or in Google searches...

a little window or HUD (like KER) that shows the next launch window to planets or moons (a customizable list to only show Mars, Saturn, Titan...), so i don't miss my contracts deadline
