Luna rotation speed?

Cool that would make sense. Thanks! @Insanity

@JelloAircraftCorporation no, the game uses patched conics, not n-body physics. It would be too confusing for new players and maybe also too performace heavy. I think in ksp theres a mod for it but not for sr2.

Do you know if lagrange points are possible in the game? I’m assuming not @Insanity

@Silentime in real life you would have a legrange point between earth and moon, that would always be above the same point over the moon as the moon is locked and the legrange point moves with the moon.

I estimate that there is no stationary orbit and stable synchronous orbit for the moon. The reason is that it is affected by the gravity of the earth and locked by the tide. This means that when you look at the moon on earth, the moon is actually facing the earth all the time. If there is a synchronous orbit, it will cross the earth, which is not possible.

Cool! Thank you! The highest stable orbit I could get had a period of about 2 days so it’s not possible. @Insanity

I looked at the planet file and the rotational period seems to be ca. 104 hours. So it seems unreasonable that a luna-stationary orbit would be possible. I might try to fully calculate it later, but you could try to do it youself aswell, the formulas should be easily found with a google search.
