Anth Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I hope that something like the trajectories mod will in KSP2 as stock but also I wouldn't mind knowing if a craft is going to land during the day or night. Probably hard to predict over years if the impact on Tylo was going to be in 4 years and the craft is still within Kerbin SOI but if the craft was closer?

GoldForest Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) A stock trajectories plugin would be nice. As for a day/night predictor, that would be hard to do I think in coding. But you can eye ball that by yourself tbh. Edited November 30, 2022 by GoldForest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From close perhaps, but imagine half way between the Mun and Kerbin orbit. Or having a maneuver node that is multiple orbits away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get into the target's SOI before making a course correction, so you do end up where you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but you're always going to make course corrections. Unless you're a maniac who just likes to throw caution to the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right it does take course corrections to get just the right positioning for a Kerbin atmospheric trajectory from the Eve SOI and sometimes I have to make adjustments in solar orbit.
