ebrammer252 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I'm trying to get to the Mun, but everytime I get into orbit my orbit is not flat like the mun's orbit, mine is always like 45 degrees. If someone could explain in layman terms I would greatly appreciate it.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyro Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Well, what you're saying is that your orbital inclination is off by a lot. Now depending on what point of orbit you're on (descending node, or down to periapsis; ascending node, or up to apoapsis), you would fire your rocket North (0*) or South (180*). It would decrease or increase your inclination depending on how long you burn for, and what part of the AN or DN of orbit you're on. So, I basically said that you would fire your rocket North or South to increase or decrease your orbit "angle", which is what you're "flat" is. Hope I helped!
