This is just a little thought process I've been kicking around, and I'd like to get some input on it.
I am sure this is right under my nose, and I'm gonna feel really dumb when someone explains it to me
How to do you sling from one planet to the same planet? In other words, is it possible to get Encounter data for Earth in Transx, including hypothetical inclination, without ever leaving orbit?
The reason I want to do this is so that I can use Transx for planning basic LEO maneuvers, like alignment burns and such. I'd like to use "Transx for everything"...fully integrate Transx into my Orbiter experience, and maybe combine it with Burn Time Calculator so I can program all my maneuvers, more like a real spacecraft.
I do suppose that one could more readily use IMFD for something like this, but I want to use Transx for it because Orbiter already comes with with it, and I'd like to be able to write a "Transx for Everything" tutorial.
