Boex Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Hi there!I created this thread as a place to discuss and log the characteristics and features of the new planets in the upcoming v0.17 update in the hope of making it easier to reach them!How might we find out about them? Through trawling the various pictures posted of the planets by the devs in other discussion threads, most notably NovaSilisko, the Master of the Kerbal Universe!So here are my submissions ---http://imgur.com/a/clX81This holds some pretty valuable information as to the rough altitudes of the planets. From there we can work out how fast they're travelling, so we know when to do our transfer burns.--Nova said that all planets orbit anti-clockwise.--Aerobraking seems like the best option when it comes to slowing down, but that all depends on the thickness of the atmosphere--200% altitude = 75% velocity, meaning a planet at 26 Billion meters (double Kerbin's altitude) will complete 4 orbits in the time it takes Kerbin to do 3.--From here we can work out when we burn, by estimating the orbits of the planets in that picture! ^^^Any takers?
