IMFD Earth -> Moon Targeting a Specific LAN

[Zane]

Hello everyone.

I just launched a craft into lunar orbit and I intend to launch another craft to rendezvous and dock with it. While I know I can use IMFD's Planet Approach program to change my inclination relative to the Moon's equator, I do not yet know how to use IMFD to target a specific longitude of ascending node (that of the space station I just put there). While I could potentially just align planes using AlignMFD, I'm interested in saving some dV by launching at the right time and whatnot. Is this at all possible and if so, how would I go about doing it?

Thanks in advance.

It's basically launching to the right inclination at the right time (though I haven't done it yet myself; I don't know how easy it is to do).

Right, I know how to do that.

It's that that is for targeting a satellite of the planet you are launching from. In this instance, I want to target a satellite of the satellite of the planet I'm launching from, which seems more complex.

EDIT: Oh, wait. Never mind. Guess I should have read that post better. :beathead:

Thanks for the info.

Oops, I meant to say TLI at the right time targeting the right inclination. Sorry for the confusion.
