Jool Gravitational Scan

[manek22]

Accepted a contract to do Grav Scans on Jool, set up in a polar orbit as that would let me pass by the locations easier. But I keep going right between or just past the areas. Altitude is correct. Any good orbits to suggest or other solutions? Been at this for 4 hours now.

Try increasing/decreasing your orbital period by burning prograde/retrograde(obviously watch for atmo). You will take longer/shorter to go around, possibly hitting the sweet spot.

Also, Ass Tug. lol

Hah forgot about my asteroid tug...yeah I keep the names simple but fun sometimes.

I'm afraid if I change the orbit it'll take me too far above the site location. But I'll give it a shot.

Look up the ideal scan sat orbits thread. Any of those orbits will give you a large resonance ratio. They are good orbits to park the scanner at because of the ground trace.

Changed the AP to 800km, got one already, thanks guys.

Now for the time consuming orbits to get the others...

I'm sticking to rescue missions and station missions.
