VinnyMB25 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 At what position should Minmus be at at launch relative to KSC when attempting a straight shot at it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Aerospace Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Why on earth are you trying to do a straight shot at Minmus? There are tutorials all over the forum for basic orbiting and Minmus missions. Trust me, they\'re a lot more efficient than trying to do a straight shot.

Zephram Kerman Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Maybe he\'s going for a speed run? Going 'straight' is of course much less efficient than a proper transfer orbit. But hey, it\'s just a game! Do what\'s fun. So, to answer your question. Basically, it depends on the time it will take your ship to get there. So first figure out the flight time. Then figure out how much Minmus will move in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
