What would this 3rd party tool do or attempt to do?

rancid fractal What would this 3rd party tool do or attempt to do?

Estimate the best time to initiate travel between 2 asteroids

#

Really I just need someone to “dumb down” the big words so I can get a better grasp of what I’m getting myself into

#

You'd figure out the distance, then do math based on different data points you can get through the game

silk summit Jan 1, 2023, 4:45 AM

#

I have a program to do that

It’s called poliastro

#

I just need help integrating it

#

And learning how to get it to do what I want

rancid fractal Jan 1, 2023, 4:46 AM

#

The game is based on actual astrophysics and all those calculations?

silk summit Jan 1, 2023, 4:46 AM

#

Yup

#

I would also have to input each individual asteroids data into the library as well probably…

#

You'd basically simulate the optimal moment to leave an orbit so you can be slingshotted as close to the asteroid as possible

#

If I understood what you're trying to do correctly

#

And if that's how the game works

silk summit Jan 1, 2023, 4:50 AM

#

Yea it is

#

I don’t think slingshotted would be the right term

#

But yes basically

rancid fractal Jan 1, 2023, 4:52 AM

#

Well, yeah, technically not the correct term

silk summit Jan 1, 2023, 4:52 AM

#

I understand what your getting at

rancid fractal Jan 1, 2023, 4:52 AM

#

But leaving orbit at the angle you need to, to get maximum velocity and distance, while landing nearby another asteroid with as little adjustments as possible is basically just that

silk summit Jan 1, 2023, 4:52 AM

#

Yea I guess so

rancid fractal Jan 1, 2023, 4:53 AM

#

There's just no secondary stellar body to use for additional speed for a "proper slingshot"

silk summit Jan 1, 2023, 4:53 AM

#

Yea

#

So, do u have any ideas on where to start here?

rancid fractal Jan 1, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

Figuring out how to get the data from the game into the program

#

So you can even start doing any calculations

#

No data = No info on anything = No calculations

silk summit Jan 1, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

I am in a server w the creators, and they want to help, so I can get all that fun stuff

#

Let me figure out how to work this program, I’ll get back to u

#

@rancid fractal it’s been a pretty sleepless night, but I think I might be close to being close to being ready

#

I’ve set up anaconda navigator/jupyter to run poliastro
