<queqiao--> <K​ag​a> how do you make a good planetary slingshot similar to Messenger probe? KMAT's current version doesnt support same planet capture so i find it kinda hard unless i try and sim it manually? im not sure if that would be a great idea

<queqiao--> <t​hu​nk​> instead of anything useful i decided to...execute a complicated series of gravity assists in Orbiter?
<queqiao--> <t​hu​nk​> something like that https://xkcd.com/1244/
<queqiao--> <t​hu​nk​> anyway i have to say i find the principia tools for this far easier and straightforward to use

<raptop> kozai, though since its a disk, it probably counts as things Principia can't do? https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.22747
<raptop> Oh, as a belated comment on Orbiter, are they still doing that "buttons on the side of the MFD" thing for the UI? I imagine that it would mean that Principia would be way better
