MechJeb Inclinations

[Ranged23]

hey, i have a question.

in the ascent module in mechjeb, you can set inclination.

is it possible to do that in orbit? and how?

if not then please tell me how to do it manually.

also please tell me what all the inclinations are.

I think you'd best read these so you have some understanding of inclination and what it means.

If you are using Mechjeb open the smart ass and in either normal+ or normal- make a burn to change your inclination.

One question I would like to add. Is there a way to tell where is the best position in the orbit to get the most efficient burn?

The most efficient place to change the inclination is in the highest orbit possible. It's aristoltean: the longer your 'lever', the less force you need to exert to make a big change.

Give me a lever, and a stable orbit, and I can

Open the maneuver planner, click left or right until you find the "change inclination" page.
