Phase Angle Concerns


Recommended Posts

So, sent two ships towards Duna. One was a relaunch of a mission I accidentally ended. The second was a Kethane support structure and crew return vehicle stacked on top of a nuclear interplanetary stage. Ejection for the second ship too longer than I thought it would, due to low TWR and the phase angle after the necessary passes to finish the burn the phase angle was 359.55. Will this half a degree prevent me from rendezvousing with Duna properly?

Edit: Closest approach according to Protractor before leaving Kerbin SOI is 1.13Gm. Mid course correction should bring that way down, but this is the first time I haven't departed within a tenth of a degree of optimal phase angle.
