tomf Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 When leaving Minmus the prediced orbit in Kerbins's SOI is incorrect. Starting with a rougly circular, equatorial prograde orbit if I use the standard escape of ~190 m/s with the burn in the middle of the kerbin facing side of minmus I should end up with a kerbin orbit with a low PE. However the orbit line was rendered showin an orbit that escaped Kerbins SOI. Playing around with the manuevre node I found the one shown below which claimed a PE at Kerbin of ~80km. Orbital mechanics tells me this is incorrect. And when I executed the node and warped out of minmus's SOI I found myself on a Kerbin escape trajectory as I would have expected. This screenshot doesn't show it terribly well but I was prevented from creating a better one by a variety of other bugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
