Satellite Contract


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

So I saw this contract and it would gave me a lot of money, so i accepted it. The agency wanted me to make a satellite and send into a specific orbit around the mun. I am now orbiting the mun but the inclination is terrible. How can I change it? I tried Normal and Antinormal maneuver nodes but none of them worked.

 

Delta V=2251m/s

 

Bye for now.

EDIT: Lol nope i figured it out.

Your current setup means you just need to change your direction of your 230m/s velocity to a different direction at a correct point. So you plot a maneuver node at AN/DN. You first drag normal/antinormal of 230*sin(53)~183m/s, then drag retrograde until maneuver shows about 205m/s (this is sqrt(183*183+92*92) where 92=230(1-cos(53))). At this point, two orbits should roughly match, and then you can do fine adjustment from there.
