darthgently Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 The time budget for going solar polar is even worse than the fuel budget if you get out near Eeloo or further to make the plane change them back sunward to get that low in space over the sun science. It would be a great challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
