Dear Orbinauts,
Yesterday I made a trip to Jupiter. I reached a stable orbit around Jupiter and travelled to Europa via Transfer MFD.
EDIT: The whole trip was done with Dans Arrow Freighter.
As I reached the Periapsis I wanted to do my orbit insertion burn in retrograde position but this didn't work. The orbit got "bigger" - and ended up being a hyperbola.
After trying and testing I found out that I had to do a prograde burn in order to establish the orbit.
First I thought that this is a glitch of OrbitMFD but referencing Europa several times and also clicking "HUD" in the MFD didn't change anything.
Am I missing something? Why is that? :idk: I really don't get it...
Thanks for help guys!
Cheers,
Chris
