vitorboschi Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) I was doing some science around Duna/Ike, when I got the following prediction for the maneuver node (but wasn't able to execute it precisely enough):Does anyone know if that kind of trajectory is really possible in KSP, or is it just some kind of glitch/bug?

KatzOhki Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Almost certainly a bug. Floating point error perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbadger2742 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Ike has a large SOI and high gravity for a moon, so it will give you weird trajectories. I got one that looked like a hat. Or a python that swallowed an elephant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
