Hello,
I have my spaceship landed on Europa, now I want to fly to Earth using IMFD 5.5.
The problem is, that for the Target Intercept program the source Body is Jupiter. When I do the Orbit Eject program, I eject from Europa. Therefore, I am still in Jupiters gravity and Orbit Eject doesn't work. Setting the reference in Orbit Eject to Jupiter is also not the best idea because of the gravitational influence of Europa.
I know that a hackish would be to simply get first in Jupiter orbit and then eject, but I would prefer to eject with only one burn from Europa. I'm playing with the thought that maybe the Slingshot program provides an solution? And I want to do this with IMFD, I know that Transx is better suited for this task.
Thanks and Regards,
Georg
