RocketSon4 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Premise: you have a vessel in orbit that you want to get to a very specific orbit. Only one point on your current orbit intersects with your final orbit, and you are only allowed one maneuver. How does MechJeb calculate which direction on the NAVball to burn? I am specifically looking for equations here, btw. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleshJeb Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I'd start here: https://github.com/MuMech/MechJeb2/blob/dev/MechJeb2/OrbitalManeuverCalculator.cs The code is highly modularized, so you have to do quite a bit of digging to actually understand what's going on in any given module. I'm not an expert on the source or the math, just a terrible programmer trying to learn things. (Also, this is the first time I've looked at it in half a decade.)
