L1[00:29:01] <Eddi|zuHause> i'm in this plane rabbit hole again...
L2[00:29:09] <Eddi|zuHause> and every change makes it worse...

L8[01:41:18] <Pinkbeast> Eddi|zuHause: An obvious place to go is lighter wings (easier to break, but in the extreme case, on an SST equatorial O, who's even going around any corners?)
L9[02:11:18] <Eddi|zuHause> i'm not trying to reach orbit. i'm trying to fly a plane. particularly, one that can do high altitude atmosphere scans at various places
L10[02:12:12] <Eddi|zuHause> also, i've paused that project for now, doing other stuff

L12[03:48:13] <Pinkbeast> Eddi|zuHause: Ah, unfortunate - but in a FAR world you do have a lot of scope to use lighter wings, even if the case I described was extreme.
L13[04:10:29] <Eddi|zuHause> successfully landed a probe on the northern ice cap from a suborbital rocket
L14[04:11:40] <Eddi|zuHause> that also cleared some of the high altitude atmosphere scans

L50[12:57:44] <sandbox> I had a dream that I was on a plane while watching a rocket launch
L51[13:54:34] <Mat2ch> Sounds like a nice dream
L52[14:26:31] <raptop> But was the rocket launched from the plane?

L60[15:59:12] <Eddi|zuHause> how long before mun impact should i cancel my horizontal speed?
L61[16:04:55] <Eddi|zuHause> this is going to be horrible...
L62[16:05:37] <Althego> you only need to have that right before touchdown
L63[16:06:20] <Althego> however if you are targeting a specific point, you probably want to stop when you are near it
L64[16:40:49] <darsie> Eddi|zuHause: One way to do it is go to an e.g. 10 km orbit and burn retrograde till your speed is 0. How deep you dropped is how high you should start your landing burn.
L65[16:43:35] <darsie> You can also do a deorbit burn and use KER to see when you should start a suicide burn.
L66[16:43:52] <darsie> It's not totally accurate.
L67[16:45:04] <darsie> High acceleration is more efficient, but at the cost of a heavier engine.
L68[16:45:49] <darsie> 2-5 TWR is ok
L69[17:08:17] <Eddi|zuHause> i should have plenty of TWR, what i lack is manoeverability... and i don't have a lot of monopropellant left
L70[17:16:30] <darsie> Does your engine gimbal?
L71[17:17:56] <darsie> Then you can use RCS to turn retrograde an then use your engine to hold retrograde while you can turn RCS off.
L72[17:23:42] <Eddi|zuHause> the key point will be that moment after burning retrograde and turning the landing legs down
L73[17:26:12] <Althego> hehe, yes do not point them up
L74[17:27:10] <Mat2ch> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAtvF7SYgw4 it happend! \o/

L77[17:27:55] <Althego> finally
L78[17:27:59] <Althego> it has been more than a year
L79[17:29:05] <darsie> Eddi|zuHause: I you activate retrograde hold, your rocket will turn down during your deorbit/landing burn. Don't forget to switch from orbital to ground speed if that doesn't happen automatically.

L82[17:58:43] <Eddi|zuHause> nope, that wasn't a landing
L83[18:00:15] <darsie> You can also throttle your engine very low instead of turning it off for attitude control.
L84[18:00:39] <darsie> like, if you discover you slowed down too much.
L85[18:02:03] <Eddi|zuHause> that was a landing, but it's sliding downhill at 0.4m/s and doesn't let me save
L86[18:02:52] <Althego> try not landing on a slope

L88[18:30:41] <darsie> If you start your deorbit burn 1 s earlier/later, you come done 580ish m shorter/farther.

L94[20:31:32] <Mat2ch> The do short hops :)
L95[20:52:42] <Eddi|zuHause> i made a mistake... i disconnected my return craft, and didn't check it had any electric charge left for steering
L96[21:03:40] <Eddi|zuHause> it's ok, these wimpy tourists surely won't mind 1 day without power, in the coldness of space :p
L97[21:05:56] <raptop> Better get them some sunlight and BBQ roll, I guess
L98[21:16:16] <Mat2ch> Nah, they can cuddle.
L99[21:16:25] <Mat2ch> Good for teambuilding
L100[21:16:40] <Mat2ch> also the reentry will not be as hot then
L101[21:34:30] <Eddi|zuHause> so, i should have brought a nuclear power generator to the mun base
L102[21:35:11] <Eddi|zuHause> but that was too heavy

L107[23:18:25] <Eddi|zuHause> i have a contract for a "station" around the mun, and an "unmanned probe" around the mun, and wondering if i could launch them both in one mission
