L36[05:40:29] <packbart> what's up with people's joints? maybe I don't play hard enough but in most cases of wobbling joints, the reason is something obviously wrong with the design
L37[05:41:23] <packbart> there is some buggity going on with engine plates when reverting and editing a design. the parts attached to the plate keep forced autostruts that can create weird forces

L140[14:03:29] <hatrix> what is it about then raptop ?
L141[14:06:14] <raptop> hatrix: simulating a bunch of exoplanet surveys and trying to figure out which is "best"
L142[14:06:22] <raptop> Uh, ground based radial velocity surveys
L143[14:06:51] <raptop> So WFIRST (and if they fly HabEx and/or LUVOIR) can have direct imaging targets
L144[14:07:51] <hatrix> oh, nice
L145[14:07:56] <hatrix> the explanation is quite simple actually
L146[14:08:11] ⇨ Joins: Shoe (Shoe!uid40690@id-40690.charlton.irccloud.com)
L147[14:08:47] <hatrix> what kind of parameters do you take into account to create those surveys?
L148[14:12:07] <raptop> More or less realistic modeling of the telescope/site (eg: slew times are 5 minutes, only observe stars above the telescope's pointing limits and far enough away from the moon, nights can be lost due to weather)
L149[14:14:16] <hatrix> or so more or less creating models and adding some noise to them?
L150[14:14:27] <raptop> Yeah. eg: How long a star needs to be observed for a radial velocity measurement uses https://arxiv.org/pdf/1507.00780.pdf
L151[14:15:07] <raptop> so prevision comes from models of stellar atmospheres but with some caveats (the stars can spin and have varying sizes/temperatures/masses, but spots and flares don't exist)
L152[14:15:16] <hatrix> you know it's not your physics field when you don't even understand the abstract
L153[14:15:31] <raptop> Hah
L154[14:15:56] <raptop> s/prevision/precision/
L155[14:16:27] <raptop> model the star, model the instrument (including noise to the extent that it's quantified) -> estimate of how good our measurement is
L156[14:17:22] <hatrix> sounds hard considering the unknown parameters
L157[14:17:23] <raptop> But this is inherintly optimistic in that we assume all noise/error is white noise. Stellar activity tends to have correlations which can hide real planets and give the appearance of ones that don't exist.
L158[14:17:53] <hatrix> ok so you've got a lot of false negatives?
L159[14:18:47] <raptop> I'm not 100% sure on what the false negative rate is, though probably kinda high
L160[14:19:00] <hatrix> makes sense
L161[14:19:21] <hatrix> instruments calibration must be a hassle
L162[14:19:28] <raptop> Heh
L163[14:19:41] <raptop> It can be, but the people who make the instruments are doing really cool things there.
L164[14:19:54] <hatrix> what's "here" btw?
L165[14:20:45] <raptop> here as in me? grad student at George Mason University (outside of DC)
L166[14:21:21] <raptop> The "there" has amusing things like gas cells (pass the starlight through one to have a bunch of lines at known positions that can be used to measure the radial velocity at high precision)
L167[14:21:38] <hatrix> grad student, meaning you got a master/engineering degree or something like that?
L168[14:21:41] <raptop> Also, there was a time when the best gas cells used hydrogen fluoride. *heated* HF
L169[14:21:45] <hatrix> I don't know anything about US stuff
L170[14:22:12] <hatrix> oh yeah, I was talking about location :)
L171[14:22:15] <raptop> well, PhD/doctorate is the degree goal. Doing the US thing of going directly from a Bachelor's to a doctorate
L172[14:22:28] <hatrix> what
L173[14:23:33] <hatrix> I'd fear not finishing it and not having a backup
L174[14:24:03] <hatrix> i've got a master but no bachelor, it was quite weird the last years
L175[14:24:11] <raptop> hah

L206[16:39:42] <hatrix> that mobile base was useful once again
L207[16:39:57] <hatrix> and it was the first time I departed from Duna :)
L208[16:40:28] <hatrix> also got 1,400,000 square root ksdollars
L209[16:43:35] <JVFoxy> and here I'm messing about with tiny little plane things that can get those 'above 18km' contracts
L210[16:44:17] <hatrix> I'm not even sure I can make a stable plane that flies so congrats
L211[16:46:34] <JVFoxy> unstable how so?
L212[16:46:57] <JVFoxy> I've been into aviation since I was a kid so.. kind of used to things
L213[16:48:14] <hatrix> no I mean it flies, I just don't know how to get any higher
L214[16:48:19] <hatrix> I'd like to make a space plane
L215[16:48:26] <hatrix> but it always eventually topples over
L216[16:49:04] <JVFoxy> an.. planes themselves have limits. depends on the engine you use
L217[16:49:41] <hatrix> something not powerful enough I recon
L218[16:49:48] <JVFoxy> spaceplanes are a lot trickier.. reusable, yes. But they suffer a lot in performance
L219[16:51:00] <JVFoxy> first thing though, can you make a flyable regular plane?
L220[16:51:33] <hatrix> yep
L221[16:51:40] <hatrix> let me find something
L222[16:53:10] <hatrix> euh ok
L223[16:53:36] <hatrix> it warped into the landing stirp https://i.imgur.com/7HMu4Wl.png
L224[16:55:09] <JVFoxy> ah ok.. has hints of soviet bear plane.. :P
L225[16:55:52] <JVFoxy> you stock or mod?
L226[16:55:58] <hatrix> stock + KER/KAC
L227[16:56:27] <JVFoxy> ah.. the engineer and clock
L228[16:56:55] <JVFoxy> so.. no added parts.. see if I can find something I used to use back in older versions. Granted, its harder to come up with something that spaceplanes with the Mk3 command...
L229[16:59:21] <hatrix> it's really hard to take of though
L230[16:59:27] <hatrix> it goes left or right
L231[17:01:05] <JVFoxy> couple of things to note
L232[17:01:17] <JVFoxy> center of mass is pretty high, tall landing gear

L234[17:02:23] <JVFoxy> when attaching landing gear, make sure you have rotation set to absolute, instead of local. helps to make sure wheels are pointed exactly forwards. Also, sometimes if the plane is pitched slightly when sitting on the runway, it can cause problems.
L235[17:05:47] <hatrix> definitely better lower, but still swerving
L236[17:06:10] <hatrix> should I turn SAS on or off?
L237[17:06:58] <JVFoxy> wheels might be toed in or out a bit
L238[17:07:33] <JVFoxy> center of lift still staying behind mass?

L248[17:13:54] <JVFoxy> just wondering if you wings are rotated, making too much lift, plane may be trying to pick itself up in the middle, resting on nose wheel. That would cause plane to swerve badly on runway unless if you at pitch up control
L249[17:14:12] <hatrix> even at 125m/s it's not taking off
L250[17:14:18] <hatrix> it used to work though, I wonder what happened
L251[17:14:29] <JVFoxy> could be a number of things
L252[17:16:21] <hatrix> ok
L253[17:16:23] <hatrix> guess why
L254[17:16:27] <hatrix> I'm just stupid :D
L255[17:16:36] <hatrix> plane and rocket controls are inverted for whatever reason
L256[17:16:39] <JVFoxy> plane is pretty complicated
L257[17:16:41] <hatrix> I was pitching DOWN instead of up
L258[17:16:43] <hatrix> ...
L259[17:18:28] <JVFoxy> its a complicated process... I spend hours tweaking things sometimes
L260[17:18:43] <JVFoxy> and that is just on smaller craft
L261[17:18:53] <hatrix> ok, apoapsis at 72km
L262[17:18:58] <hatrix> why is this thing working now
L263[17:19:31] <hatrix> ok it's not
L264[17:19:50] <hatrix> engines are not fully behind COM
L265[17:19:54] <hatrix> so it's just rotating
L266[17:20:55] <JVFoxy> pitching or yawing?
L267[17:21:11] <hatrix> oh, yaw
L268[17:21:16] <JVFoxy> huh
L269[17:21:17] <hatrix> I keep inverting those
L270[17:21:23] <hatrix> oh, wait
L271[17:21:25] <hatrix> pitch.
L272[17:21:31] <hatrix> definitely pitch
L273[17:21:38] <JVFoxy> ya that is what I thought.. up down. engines not on centerline.
L274[17:22:22] <hatrix> yep
L275[17:22:38] <hatrix> I just need to move the engines up ?
L276[17:22:40] <JVFoxy> thrust line might be below center of mass.. problem with aerospikes, in stock they have no gimble.
L277[17:23:27] <hatrix> oh, gimballing engines could help
L278[17:23:27] <JVFoxy> could try bringing engines up, pitching rockets to compenspate for the pitch but that takes a bit of trial and error
L279[17:24:55] <hatrix> this plane is capable of sub orbital flights, that's already something I guess
L280[17:25:15] <JVFoxy> its a start
L281[17:25:44] <JVFoxy> lol.. sometimes when I get a plane that goes stupid fast, I do some mods, see if it can reach orbit. Doesn't always work
L282[17:27:27] <hatrix> I think I'll try that tomorrow
L283[17:27:31] <hatrix> no more KSP after midnight
L284[17:30:51] <JVFoxy> as I said... takes some getting used to. Not easy knowing how much designing to put into things to make it work till you've tried a few things
L285[17:32:19] <hatrix> took me years to get rockets right

L305[17:41:14] <JVFoxy> I'm still mulling over how going to go about a relay network with 'additional network stations' turned off
L306[17:41:17] <hatrix> everything else is just random ships with relay antennas
L307[17:41:30] <hatrix> what do you mean?
L308[17:42:05] <JVFoxy> KSC will alway shave a station right? Then there are others around the planet. When setting up a game, you can have the other planet stations removed. Forces you to make a local network
L309[17:42:21] <JVFoxy> KSC station can only see horizon to horizon, not other side of the planet
L310[17:42:21] <hatrix> there are stations on other planets?

L317[17:43:43] <hatrix> well, can't the relay probes connect to the other probes?
L318[17:43:52] <hatrix> I made this one on Eve https://imgur.com/a/MNOPFoo
L319[17:44:04] <JVFoxy> one game, I stuck a geo stationary relay over KSC.. then later I was going to put another station on one of the poles when I got a better relay antenna
L320[17:46:18] <JVFoxy> what makes me a bit sad, stock game everything's manual other than SAS
L321[17:50:45] * JVFoxy gahs! Also first tier landing wheels ... ya that whole blowing up even at slowest of touch downs really .. arg..
L322[17:52:46] <hatrix> SAS is good enough
L323[17:52:52] <hatrix> are you talking about stuff like mech jeb?
L324[17:53:27] <JVFoxy> no... you ever tried getting a perfect orbit.. like for something in geo stationary?
L325[17:54:03] <hatrix> ah, you need KER for that
L326[17:54:09] <hatrix> and a lot of tries
L327[17:54:20] <hatrix> what's important is the orbital period
L328[17:54:25] <JVFoxy> I can get close.. but unless its 100% perfect, will /always/ get drift
L329[17:54:25] <hatrix> it's not so hard to achieve
L330[17:54:35] <hatrix> for my 6 satellites I had to get them to the perfect millisecond
L331[17:54:51] <hatrix> I didn't have KER back then and eventually after a few years they got out of sync :(
L332[17:55:02] <JVFoxy> I don't have ker
L333[17:55:12] <hatrix> install it them
L334[17:55:14] <JVFoxy> then again, I usually don't have problems getting orbits
L335[17:55:16] <hatrix> best thing I've done so far
L336[17:55:34] <hatrix> some people told me in this channel to install it, I've only done it a few months later
L337[17:55:40] <hatrix> and I regret having waited
L338[17:56:22] <JVFoxy> whats it got the game doesn't already have when it comes to precision orbits?
L339[17:56:38] <hatrix> it's more precise
L340[17:56:52] <hatrix> look at the orbital period top left https://i.imgur.com/bpczkHG.png
L341[17:57:16] <hatrix> the .317 is quite important
L342[17:57:44] <hatrix> here you only got seconds https://i.imgur.com/eC0zqhY.png
L343[17:59:39] <JVFoxy> when ti comes to geo stationary, I'm not looking at seconds.. a few other things I deal with. ap/per, velocity... can KER control burn time?
L344[18:00:24] <hatrix> you should look at the orbital period
L345[18:00:33] <hatrix> it doesn't matter if Pe != Ap
L346[18:00:57] <hatrix> as for the burn time I got no idea
L347[18:01:30] <JVFoxy> burn control because, trying to shut engine off exactly at the right time can be a pain if everything has to be 100% exact
L348[18:01:40] <hatrix> yep I know
L349[18:02:10] <JVFoxy> telling me the time only does so much, if i can't kill the thrust at the exact very moment
L350[18:02:17] <hatrix> I usually throttle down the engine and finish with RCS
L351[18:02:19] <JVFoxy> but anyways
L352[18:02:24] <hatrix> which you can also throttle down
L353[18:03:11] <JVFoxy> oh I know..
L354[18:04:12] <JVFoxy> its just a lot of work... when you do get things in right place, still have to go back occasionally to tweak... probe isn't smart enough to do it for you
L355[18:04:40] <JVFoxy> easier to pull up cheat menu, tell it the exact orbit, then forget about it. (at least for geo stationary)
L356[18:05:07] <JVFoxy> although, I'd only do that once I at least get as close to the orbit as I can mentally stand
