If I was half of the writer that you guys are then I'd make the reviews I definitely have the computer for most of the craft, just not the mods (I'm a noobish one, ya see) Also happy 500th reply to this thread

I used some RAPIER/Whiplash combo, Whiplashes pushed me really fast up to speed and then the RAPIERs slowly accelerated me further- 71 replies

If you mean ground stability, then use more gear in the back. And Medium gear are generally just better than small.- 71 replies

@Klapaucius 1700m/s is impressive I will admit. Especially for a design as wide as that.- 71 replies

Able to go polar and back Is at least 3,769,911 / 2 if we want to use equatorial circumference. So your ranges are at least 1184955.5m I think. @XB-70A

Real life transfer window basics?
TheTripleAce3 replied to TheTripleAce3's topic in Science & Spaceflight
@Zeiss Ikon So a Hohmann transfer from Earth to Pluto would have a period of 124.5 years since Earth has a 1 yr orbit and Pluto has a 248 yr orbit? -
Real life transfer window basics?
TheTripleAce3 replied to TheTripleAce3's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I thought most non hohmann routes were done using Gravity Assists to make it almost as efficient as a Hohmann transfer. -
Real life transfer window basics?
TheTripleAce3 replied to TheTripleAce3's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Non-Hohmann transfers aren't that bad to understand as they mostly are GA routes. -
Real life transfer window basics?
TheTripleAce3 replied to TheTripleAce3's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Thank you @YNM, @Bill Phil and @VaPaL, I'll be looking at those tomorrow, assuming something else doesn't come up in my schedule. I've been trying to figure out why transfer windows seem so random and undefined but it's making more sense now after briefly skimming the sources you gave me. I'm a noob at space irl, so this is one thing I'll probably have the ost trouble with for a while. -
Real life transfer window basics?
TheTripleAce3 replied to TheTripleAce3's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Thanks for the reply. I'll keep looking for some simple charts before really digging into it. -
I know that transfer windows are when it is most efficient to get to one location from another, but what are the rules of thumb irl?
