    I'm looking for a word... It's got to do with orbital mechanics, but I can't seem to find the right one, but I'm pretty sure it must exist. Imagine two circular orbits of two satelites around the same central body in the same inclination. They have a frequency between each other that describes...

    What music are you listening to?

    Oh, for crying out loud, of course they have a github repo of the thing when you go looking for it! :ROFLMAO: https://github.com/NanowarOfSteel/HelloWorld Complete with chatGPT generated readme! And... a dockerfile? What happened to portability? 😂

    Oh bloody hell, now the madlads did it. They destroyed me. I can barely breathe. Also, can I have an intellij plugin that plays the last 3 seconds whenever I get a nullpointer exception?

    Equations for calculating infalling orbit intercept?

    Thank you very much! I have not implemented the whole DV thing yet, but I've gone through my code with your equations at hand and managed to correct it so I now get valid target intercepts when running it against orekit, so the hard part is done. All in all, the equations I was using were...

    Oh wow, that's very detailed! Thanks a lot! I'll be over there plugging all that into my code for a while...

    Equations for calculating infalling orbit intercept?

    Not just the the burn, I also need the true anomaly of the spacecraft when it intersects the inner orbit (or the time it needs to get there from apoapsis... one can be used to calculate the other). I need that to calculate the time of the transfer burn so I actually hit the target at the...

    Equations for calculating infalling orbit intercept?

    So, I'm currently devising a very simple trajectory solver for my game. The difficulty is that the game should actually calculate trajectories and maneuvers based on the character's skill, which is a bit more tough than just giving the a player a couple of sliders to fiddle with their DV...

    Not for me either. @gattispilot, did you try to download, or just follow the link to the add-on page? Because I can get that far.

    Gaming Kerbal Space Program 2 (currently in Early Access)

    Why? It's basically falling. Cats are well-known for their falling abilities.

    Gaming Kerbal Space Program 2 (currently in Early Access)

    I mean, why not play whatever antropomorphic animals in space? It's been done before! (I've got to get myself that source book one of these days...)

    Gaming Orbital Margins

    It's been a while, but it's finally here: The new major feature changing a lot of the early game, and the first actual progression system. Now you'll have to build your network of business contacts to get good jobs, but maintaining good relations with them will also have other long-term...

    Fortunately I work at a small company with decent people. Never had to play the blame game even once in my 8 years here. There's been plenty of "I did suggest that when we implemented that feature", but the response so far has always been "oops, sorry". Of course, there's been plenty of "oops...

    The feature cycle of table filters: 1. We should be able to filter this table for cells containing arbitrary strings. - Ok. 2. We realized that sometimes we need to filter for an exact term, not just a contained one, could you put in a switch? - Ok. 3. You know, it would be really handy if we...

    What music are you listening to?

    It's a song about strugging with diarrhea, in the epic style of rhapsody of fire, that also contains queen's rhapsody. Nanowar of steel continues to prove that Dadaism can be glorious if you take the art seriously. I think the scene I love most is when the choir leader goes into full...

    Did not expect to meet the bosnian ape society on this forum. Just... the possibility never occured to me. They're great, though. They taught me all I know about chess!

    News Changes to the SpaceX BFR rocket.

    The required precision for that catch is insane. What the hell are they going to do if they encounter an unexpected wind gust?? Build a new tower? :oops:
