Double encounters in one trajectory

[InterStellarExplorerKid983]

Try to make an 2 encounters before reaching the first encounter.

It's possible, but difficult.

The trick is that after the first encounter, there is another set of close encounters (Those gray/white arrows that show the distance from you to the target aka a planet and/or moon)

If you don't see anything or don't know what I am talking about, go to your settings and set your Conic Patch Limit to max (6) and Conic Patch Draw Mode to Dynamic.

For more of a challenge you can do 1 or more of these ideas:

1. Escape  with the same or different planet/moon.
2. Orbital  break (get into orbit from an escape trajectory)
3. Pick up
4. Drop down

The trick to do the first 2 is to focus on the planet/moon, if the orbital path is behind the planet/moon's direction of orbit then you'll speed up and the same thing doing the opposite.

Please reply if you are having problems or have other ideas.

So get two encounters with one trajectory?

I often get these whilst transferring to the Mun. Once I even had the potential for 3 consecutive flybys, whilst transferring from a station in high cismunar orbit (I can't remember the orbit altitude but I think it was a synchronous station).

I once also got a triple encounter with the Mun, and just today i did a double with Laythe. I defenitely think that this isn't a challenge, its not even that hard considering how often you accidentally do it.

If seen a double encounter with the Mun with minmus. Its pretty easy to get..
