  1. In my first dip into interplanetary waters the game sends me this contract. I need to put a satellite with science gizmos on it in a crazy eccentric orbit that is completely new to me, a Kolniya orbit. Apo: 12,365,504 meters Per: 129,500 meters Inc: 63,4 deg LAN: 31.4 deg AP: 270 deg The problem I'm having is that when I create a maneuver within the transfer window and inspect how I'll arrive at Eve, that I'll always arrive going in the wrong direction for the orbit requirements. Fudging and advancing the Orbit and Time of the Kerbin escape within that window, gets me to the other side of Eve, but still not going in the right direction. It doesn't seem like it's possible to send this sat in the transfer window to arrive properly. I can imagine you could maybe do it with grav slingshots? - but that is way out my ballpark at the moment. Any advice or ideas?
