  • With the new Kerbal Space Program 2 "For Science!" update, many have speculated what the upper limit is of the first tier of the Tech Tree, and so I decided to find out by attempting to reach Eeloo, the furthest destination in KSP 2, and land there, before returning Jebediah Kerman home safely. Many trials, tribulations, and gravity assists were required, so I hope you enjoy!

      It’s possible, if you get a gravity assist off tylo and jool. Using tylos gravity to accelerate as well as jools. It’ll shoot you out at escape velocity for kerbol. So if you go via a Eve-Kerbin gravity assist to get to Jool and then the Tylo-Jool for Kerbol escape you can get interstellar for minimal delta-v usage. I’d also suggest getting the Jool encounter after your apoapsis so that way you’re gaining velocity from ‘falling’ to your periapsis, it’s not a massive gain relatively but it’s more likely to boost you to interstellar speeds than if you encountered Jool closer to your apoapsis. Also if you time it right you can gravity assist off the mun to get down to Eve I’m pretty sure.

    I can imagine Matt drawing blood, but with a twist. Instead of going for the arm, he tells the patient that he is doing the expert mode today. That entails going into an ankle draw by way of the ear canal. With "gravity assists" at the aorta, kidney. Gallbladder back up to the heart allowing him to get down to the pinky tow. Then it's just a few small gravity assists to the inner ankle vein.

    You are basically correct on gravity assists. The other thing that goes overlooked is the fact that redirecting your kinetic energy by changing your flight path angle can make it _appear_ that you have gained or lost a ton of energy. Flying by a distant attractor obviously changes your direction, so a well-executed gravity assist will send you flying in the right direction with a little bit more or less energy stolen from or donated to the parent body.

    -A large unfolding solar panel probe in high Vall orbit
    -A reusable craft to go between them that has large battery bank, can deliver power from the solar probe, and is fueled by the ore extracted from the mining base (this keeps the base charged up)

      gravity assists, especially when trying to chain multiple together, are extremely hard to calculate as theres so many factors that go into them, and small changes to the burn can cause massive changes after the assist. it would be great to see, but i doubt it will be added. if they do, theyd need an automated burn system aswell to ensure that the assists are accurate

  • @aneru9396
    @aneru9396 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

  • @MichaelCoombes776
    @MichaelCoombes776 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Your explanation of gravity assists is great - the reason why you can take energy away like that has something to do with the fact that the body is spinning, so it gives you a push. Otherwise you'd lose all the energy gained on leaving.
    This video is basically the grand tour by Reach in RSS, except it doesn't go inwards. Awesome.
    The only gravity assists I've done in stock KSP is the Tylo braking one.
    Edit to clarify, by spin I meant the direction of orbit around the parent body, not the rotation of the planet.

    • @TlalocTemporal
      @TlalocTemporal 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Gravity assists still work the same way with Venus (which spins backward) and the Moon (which spins very slowly).
      Relative to the assisting body, your entry and exit speed is the same (just is a different direction), but that change in direction can be in the direction of the orbit, so relative to the parent body you exchange momentum with the assisting body.

    • @MinerBat
      @MinerBat 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

You are of course a hell of a player but you also are dependable and always there for us with another impressive launch. If Scott Manley is the father of the KSP community, you are our wonderful mother. Always there with a meal of a launch for us to consume, making sure we don't go hungry. You stood up for us when ksp 2 felt like too much of a letdown. And you just make me happy when I see your videos. Keep it up momma matt!

    • @oscarpistorius3710

    The mod Maneuver Node Controller has been essential for me, it's basically the advanced maneuver function from KSP. I also use Flight Plan to instantly create run of the mill maneuvers like circularising or raising/lowering orbits (and it's a godsend for orbital intercepts which I hate doing manually). It takes a lot of the tedium out of the game for me and lets me focus on building rockets, doing science and completing missions.

    11:48 it'd be fun if there was a sort of "trip planner" in the game so you could work out your orbits and gravity assists, and landing etc, and get a requirements breakdown per stage/length of trip. Then have an option to break it up into stages and moving the parts between them so that the system can calculate how much fuel you'll need for the other parts of your trip.

    • @adora_was_taken
      @adora_was_taken 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      you could even have maneuver plans be "stages" in the trip planner!
      another fun idea would be a more detailed stage designer where you can insert specific actions. kinda like turning every stage into an action group.

    @piratecheese13 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The best way of understanding gravity assists is to play universe sandbox, where doing a gravity assist actually slows down the celestial body you are assisting off of and it becomes visually apparent what's happening.
    If an object with the perfect mass, vector and velocity were to gravity assist off the Earth, It could reduce our orbital velocity to fall directly into the sun.

    Honestly for an exploration mode playthrough I think it'd be great to do a "roleplay" so to speak. Budget stuff out behind the scenes and try to build up your space program in a way that feels natural. First launch make it to a sub-orbital trajectory, then make a full orbit, send out some probes to the mun and minmus and send some probes to the other planets around Kerbol. Maybe even make it a more genuine tutorial? Like using episode one (sub-orbital and orbital rocket) to explain the basics like distributing weight, and how ascent profiles work. KSP 2 doesn't have a whole lot of teaching based content for it yet. And I think everyone would appreciate seeing it start to grow like it did for KSP 1.
