Munar Reconnaissance Orbiter

[SmiteZero]

The one time I accidentally got myself into a polar Mun orbit, most of the plane change was made in the TMI burn and then fixed up in the Munar entry burns. Basically I ended up with a trajectory from Kerbin to the Mun that went above or below it\'s plane. When you get to the Mun then, it\'s easy to drop right into a polar orbit.

I did that just yesterday. Damn I wish I had taken pictures. It was AWESOME! >

Even if it doesn\'t rotate relative to Kerbin, it\'s revolution around Kerbin won\'t affect your orbit.

...so a Munar Geostationary Orbit is possible?

Unfortunately not. Your altitude is way outside SOI.

Unfortunately not. Your altitude is way outside SOI.

Isn\'t on the pad technically geostationary since the Mun is tidally locked?

[gabyalufix]

No. Because kearth isn\'t tidally locked with the mun. You keep going round in little circles on your pad, as night turns to day and so on.

New plan: journey to the center of the Kerbin! Then you\'ll be geostationary with the mun.

edit: I\'m a ninja.

QUICK CHANGE THAT TO KERBIN BEFORE NOVA SEES!

My Spirit-type spaceprobe could probably fulfill the requirements. I\'ve taken it from Kerbin to Mun into Munar orbit [not polar,] released a Stellarcom satellite [RP reason was transmitting whilst line-of-sight to Kerbin is blocked,] and returned the probe to Kerbin orbit. Where it falls down is that it can\'t fall down without exploding on impact.
