How would I go about putting a vessel into sun-synchronous orbit around Mars? :idk:

Look at "Example: calculate the inclination for a sun-synchronous polar orbit" in Doc\Technotes\gravity.pdf.
Mars sun-synchronous polar orbits with ecc=0:
Alt=100km; Incl=95.75deg.
Alt=200km; Incl=96.09deg.
Alt=300km; Incl=96.44deg.
Alt=400km; Incl=96.79deg.
Edit : obviously, I didn't read carefully enough the topic, which was about Sun-synchronous orbit :beathead:
FWIW, the prefix "areo-" is normally used for the Mars equivalent of "geo-", eg, "areosynchronous". Mars is the Roman god of war, Ares is the Greek god of war and "geo-" comes from the Greek for Earth. Likewise "selen-" is used for the Moon, eg, "selenography".So, a "marsynchronous" orbit would use the same principles.
I recommend [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2802"]Launch MFD - v 1.3.3 BETA for Orbiter 2010[/ame] for that.With enough practice I'll nail the inclination the first time every time.
Thank you, it is helpfull. I will follow your instruction.If you have Orbiter installed, it is in the Doc folder.
Assuming your installation folder is called "Orbiter", it is in
Orbiter\Doc\Technotes\gravity.pdf
