Presenting the Kerbal Space Program Orbital Synchronization Calculator

Recommended Posts

Ever wanted to set up a craft in an interesting synchronization with a planet or moon, but didn't want to do all that annoying math to figure it out? Want to know how to get your multi-satellite array into a perfect spacing pattern in that orbit without having to hand-calculate everything? Then I have the tool for you! It's a simple JavaScript application that should work in most web browsers, and it lets you calculate literally any resonance you could possibly desire with a planet. Geosynchronous? No problem! Half-synchronous? Easy! 15:3 resonance? Crazy, but 100% doable! And it'll even tell you how to space your multi-satellite array when launching it into orbit so they'll all align equidistant from one another when you finish up putting them in place.

You can find it here!

Want to see more functionality for this calculation tool? See something I missed? Let me know and I'll see what I can do to improve upon it!
