L1[00:05:16] * raptop blinks at a paper that might be vaguely relevant to people who do interstellar mods for KSP https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.01800
L2[00:22:38] ⇦ Quits: flub2 (~Fluburtur@2a01:e34:ecf7:d4f0:7d57:78b9:22fc:e553) (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
L3[00:49:03] <taniwha> Plausible constraints on the range of arxiv papers relevant to KSP modders
L4[00:52:23] <darsie> I thought of a satellite that releases two 1 cm platinum spheres and accelerates them with a 100 mW laser so they start orbiting about each other at 5-10 mm distance. That's not possible in KSP.
L5[00:53:30] <darsie> Would it work with principia?
L6[00:53:53] <taniwha> I doubt it would work anywhere in the solar system
L7[00:54:10] <taniwha> Roche limit
L8[01:04:43] <darsie> Wouldn't work in LEO, IIRC. Should work farther out.
L9[01:05:10] <darsie> Works for Earth/Moon and Didymos/Dimorphos.
L10[01:05:50] <darsie> Orbital period is 2-3 h, IIRC.
L11[01:19:16] <Pinkbeast> Principia does not (AFAIK) model vessel-vessel gravity, which would be microscopic
L12[01:19:53] <Pinkbeast> Even Gilly masses 10^17 kg
L13[01:24:09] <darsie> Orbital period stays the same if you scale linearly, 1 cm spheres, 1 cm distance or 1 m spheres and 1 m distance, IIRC.
L14[01:25:03] <darsie> Platinum is dense.

L18[02:06:23] <taniwha> yeah, for constant density, the period is sqrt(6*pi/(G*rho))
L19[02:06:41] <taniwha> Izaya, I doubt it, I don't know what fedi is
L20[02:07:26] <taniwha> oh, oops
L21[02:07:34] <taniwha> that's orbital perond at the surface
L22[02:07:44] <Izaya> ah, a shame
L23[02:09:42] <taniwha> however, it seems the period might go with the 3/2 power of the ratio of orbital radius to body radius

L100[21:03:09] <raptop> Yep
L101[21:03:39] <raptop> Like, you can do the experiments again and get the science back, but it's like when goo pods are destroyed
L102[21:19:29] <darsie> Is it cheaper to make a plane change to Minmus at arrival or at launch?
L103[21:21:10] <Pinkbeast> Ideally launch into the correct plane, I think
L104[21:31:10] <packbart> depends on how much time you want to spend on it
L105[21:32:06] <packbart> I'd capture with a high Ap, then combine the plane change with bringing Pe to where I need it
L106[21:33:27] <packbart> Pinkbeast: launching into the plane to meet Minmus doesn't necessarily put your craft into the inclination around it that you want
L107[21:33:50] <packbart> not sure what darsie was asking for :)
L108[21:42:49] <raptop> Minmus is cheap enough that I'd go with whatever is easiest
