RSS/RO/Mechjeb - How to launch to the moon when taking off from Kourou (French Guiana)?


Recommended Posts

Launching to the moon is easy when launching from Cape Canaveral, just wait untill relative inclination is near 0 and launch towards 90º.

But when launching from Kourou in the French Guiana, near the equator, the relative inclination don't go nowhere near 0, it just fluctuates between around 22º and 32º along the day, even if the launch site's coordinates cross the moon's orbital plane two times a day.

I know the info is accurate because when launching from the equator to 90º would never get me to the same orbital plane of the moon , because the earth is tilted, but I think there must be a parameter that tells me when the current location crosses the target's orbital plane, I just couldn't find nothing like that in mechjeb's windows.

Before anyone suggests: No, eyeballing the inclination on the map view is not an option when playing RSS.
