spacebrick3 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'm not sure if this is related to the fluctuating orbits thing or just KER, but when I was looking at the readouts for my orbit, I got this: If you can't see it, the Apoapsis value is below the Periapsis value. I'm not sure why this is, but if anyone else knows please tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaarst Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Unless I've missed something, 24542 is greater than 23732, isn't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rocketeer Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) No it isn't: Apoapsis: 24,542.6 meters Periapsis: 23,732.0 meters The time is less because you're past apoapsis and descending towards periapsis, i.e. you get to your next periapsis before your next apoapsis. That's all. Edited May 27, 2016 by The_Rocketeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
