@ross Play #KerbalSpaceProgram for a while, you'll get a much better understanding of the (very counterintuitive) nature of #OrbitalDynamics :)
Oh, and how did they calculate things in the #1960s? While final trajectories were analyzed with (compute-intensive) #NBodySimulations, rough trajectories were created with "#PatchedConics", which basically sort of converts a trajectory into a #geometry problem.

NASA's #CAPSTONE mission has arrived at the #Moon, becoming the first #CubeSat to orbit the moon and the first spacecraft ever to occupy a near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO) - the same orbit that will be used by Gateway, the space station that will support the #Artemis Program: https://blogs.nasa.gov/artemis/2022/11/13/capstone-arrives-to-orbit-at-the-moon/ #orbitaldynamics #space #nasa #satellites

«Bon, j'comprends pu là...Quesses-tu veux pour Noël? Orbiter autour de L2 ou de L4-L5? Euh, non (osti qu'chu méta😏 ) Tu veux la souveraineté ou tu veux un bon gouvernement? Tu veux pas les deux?» #politique #orbitaldynamics
