Amazing!!!!

So how did East Germany collect euros for their prisoners?  The Euro wasn't around yet.

ALso, glad you escaped from the Obomas!!!!

Sorry to make you worry. My web site is more popular than ever and I was informing some people about life in East Germany 1949-1989. Did you know that East Germany sold 34 000 political prisoners in that time and collected about €50 000:- for each of them - totally € 1 700 million! That is 1 700 times more than what you can win at Heiwa's €1,000,000 challenge (topic).

Re gravity assist math it does not exist! If a space craft approaches a planet at high speed, the gravity of the planet will attract the space craft so it crashes on the planet or burns up in the atmosphere. Only silly gravity assist sect members believe otherwise = it is religion.

A spacecraft will be accelerated towards the centre of gravity of the planet in question. Thi does not mean it is travelling directly towards it. This can be demonstrated using a simple excel model.
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by ignorance or stupidity.

Yes it does.  Here is a link to a document that shows you how to calculate one.

Not if you aim your space craft properly.

As a spacecraft is accelerated toward the centre of gravity of the planet in question means that it is travelling towards it at the approach, i.e. it changes direction prior crossover/passing. All models assume otherwise.

Yeah, the space craft would accelerate towards the planet but it also has lateral velocity.  The space craft would miss the surface and be fling in some other direction when such velocity is present, and there is nothing that would cause it to slow down.  I can name many games and simulators woich simulate gravity assists, including Orbiter.  Do you by change have any proof (mathematical or otherwise) that gravity assists are impossible?

Velocity and acceleration are not the same thing.  The ship is accelerating towards the planet but it also has lateral velocity.  If you don't believe me then throwa ball, it will hit the Earth because it is not going at escape velocity but it's lateral velocity will be the same when it lands then it was when you threw it.

You you understand that when you're aiming your spacecraft at a planet, your target isn't actually the planet, but a spot in space a certain distance ahead of or behind (depending on the nature of the encounter) where the planet will be when you get there, don't you?

My math is from http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath114/kmath114.htm .

If a space craft X with speed v approaches a planet and the planet has speed U in the opposite direction in space, the planet will kick the space craft in the opposite direction with new speed  2U + v.

If the planet is stationary in space - U = 0 - the space craft will apparently just turn 180° around the planet at constant speed v.

I doubt it very much. I think the gravity of the planet will attract the space craft.

I suggest you check the math behind any simulations before you use them. It seems most space simulations assume space is 2-D, etc.

It seems all 2-D space simulations also ignore that the Sun rotates around a BLACK HOLE in the centre of the Milky Way.

As human space travel is not possible under any circumstances, you cannot win my Challenge. Do you really believe Juri Gagarin flew once around the Earth 1961 and then landed without a heat shield? Please, wake up.

Of course the planet will attract the spacecraft.  That's why it's called gravity assist.

That website does not accurately depict the shape of the trajectory, it actually looks more like this:

Yep, that's a hyperbolic trajectory and the black lines represent asymptotes.  Sorry, those words are probably too mathematical for you to understand.

If a space craft X with speed v approaches a planet and the planet has speed U in the opposite direction in space, the planet will kick the space craft in the opposite direction with new speed  2U + v.

It will only do that if it does a 180 degree gravity assist, but depending on how close you get to the planet you can get different angles.

If the planet is stationary in space - U = 0 - the space craft will apparently just turn 180° around the planet at constant speed v.



No, ships go faster as they get closer to the planet they are orbiting.  Please take some time and study Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

I doubt it very much. I think the gravity of the planet will attract the space craft.

Yeah, I doubt it too.  In fact I doubt it so much that I don't see how any reasonable person would come to the conclusion that other people think that without even doing research.

I suggest you check the math behind any simulations before you use them. It seems most space simulations assume space is 2-D, etc.

Orbits are always along a 2D plane and as long as gravity follows the inverse square law (which assumes 3D space) then it would perfectly simulate orbits as they exist in 3D space except for plane changes, which is not a major thing.  Also, there are literally hundreds (probably more) of programs that all seem to agree that gravity assists are possible, including many 3D ones.  Does this mean that everyone ever involved in the development of an orbital physics simulator is in on some conspiracy?

It seems all 2-D space simulations also ignore that the Sun rotates around a BLACK HOLE in the centre of the Milky Way.

You don't know how gravity works, do you...  The black hole in the center of the galaxy poles the entire solar system more or less the same (the tidal forces involved are many orders of magnitude too small to make a measurable effect), and so the solar system behaves just as it would if it weren't orbiting a black hole just like how the Moon doesn't seem to care that the Earth is orbiting the Sun.  Also, the gravity we feel from that black hole at this distance is 10,000 times weaker then the gravity you feel from a person standing 30 feet away from you.

As human space travel is not possible under any circumstances,

Human space travel is possible only when the people designing and flying the rockets are smarter then you, but not everybody has you allergies of math and research, and those who take the time to learn what they are disputing against (unlike you) are called "smart people".

you cannot win my Challenge.

Yeah, not if you keep moving the goal posts.  Now could you please answer my question: assuming space travel is real is it possible to win your challenge?  A simple yes or no would suffice.

Do you really believe Juri Gagarin flew once around the Earth 1961 and then landed without a heat shield? Please, wake up.

Who said it didn't have a heat shield?  Also, his name is spelled "Yuri Gagarin".

So?  The same math applies to a moving planet, it's all about your frame of reference.

and the space craft trajectory only bends a little

It would bend more if it passed closer to the planet.

Yeah, orbits always follow a 2D plane.  Why can't they be represented in 2D?

Are you saying that it's impossible for a "cartoon" (or illustration) to depict a real thing?  That ilustration did accurately illustrate that gravity assist trajectories are hyperbolic, which debunks many of your points.

... in 2-D.

Yeah, orbits always follow a 2D plane.  Why can't they be represented in 2D?


We are discussing an alleged gravity assist kick of a small space craft at a certain speed/direction that encounters at small distance a big planet at another speed/direction.

It is suggested that, if the encounter is almost head on (missing at a certain distance) in the same plane (a 2-D encounter - speed vectors are in same plane), the space craft with speed original v is kicked around 180° by the planet that comes in the opposite direction with speed U. The space craft then has speed 2U+v in the opposite direction, i.e. it has turned 180° while remaining of course in the 2-D plane.

However, space is 3-D and it is very difficult to arrange an encounter between a space craft travelling at a certain speed/direction(orbit) in one plane and a planet travelling at another speed/direction (orbit) in another plane.

But if it is possible (which I doubt) it is suggested that the big planet will kick the small space craft in another direction at, I assume, an increased speed.

I have only tested the proposed math solution in 2-D with planet speed U = 0. Then the kick is a 180° turn of the space craft at constant speed v and constant altitude above the planet. No increase of speed. The kick is just a 180° turn around the planet.

Evidently it is not possible. The gravity force of the planet will attract the space craft, so the altitude cannot be constant.

NASA has suggested that it is easy to demonstrate above by sending a space craft towards the Moon and that the space craft with a certain arrival speed v at the Moon will do a 180° turn around the Moon and then return with a departure speed v in the opposite direction. It is evidently nonsense.

Reason is that there is no arrival speed v. As soon as the space craft is in the vicinity of the Moon it goes faster and faster attracted by the gravity of the Moon and will crash (unless it misses altogether - no gravity attraction).

Part of the Heiwa Challenge 2 (the Moon trip) (topic) is to explain how you brake your space craft approaching the Moon to avoid a crash. You can e.g. try to first fly into a Moon orbit (Apollo 1960's) and later land with a another module, or do it Tintin Belgian style 1953, i.e. brake all the time until you arrive at Moon surface at speed 0 - touch down.

Both possibilites are impossible ... like any gravity assist kick in space. Only silly, religious fools believe in Father Christmas, Moses getting stone tablets from the sky, Jesus walking on water, Muhammed hearing voices in a cave, people flying in space, etc, etc.

They do not understand the God made such things impossible.

You seem to think that all gravity kicks require a near 180 degree turn. Why do you cling to that delusion?  You also seem t struggle with a diagram meant to simplify a principle. I imagine in practice that trajectories would be chosen to make it as close to a 2D problem as possible.

Yeah, but frame of reference stuff meas that it's not going the same velocity relative to, say, the Sun.

However, space is 3-D and it is very difficult to arrange an encounter between a space craft travelling at a certain speed/direction(orbit) in one plane and a planet travelling at another speed/direction (orbit) in another plane.

That's why space crafts have on bored computers and take so much math to navigate.  Nobody said that rocket science was easy.

But if it is possible (which I doubt) it is suggested that the big planet will kick the small space craft in another direction at, I assume, an increased speed.

I have only tested the proposed math solution in 2-D with planet speed U = 0. Then the kick is a 180° turn of the space craft at constant speed v and constant altitude above the planet. No increase of speed. The kick is just a 180° turn around the planet.

Nope, it just changes it's direction and the increase in speed comes from frame of reference stuff.  Let's imagine that you have a bouncy ball and you throw it at a wall, it will come back to you at the same speed you threw it at.  But planets are not stationary, so imagine you threw it at a train going towards you at 100 miles per hour, relative to the train the ball would be going towards it at 100 miles per hour and so after bouncing it will go away from train at 100 miles per hour, but to a stationary observer the bouncy ball went from 0 to 200 miles per hour.  That's sort of how gravity assists work.  Gravity assists also don't have to be 180 degrees, they can be any angle between 180 degrees and 0 degrees.

Evidently it is not possible. The gravity force of the planet will attract the space craft, so the altitude cannot be constant.

Who said that the altitude would be constant?  I already told you that the trajectories depicted in that website are not correct.

NASA has suggested that it is easy to demonstrate above by sending a space craft towards the Moon and that the space craft with a certain arrival speed v at the Moon will do a 180° turn around the Moon and then return with a departure speed v in the opposite direction. It is evidently nonsense.

No, it's not always in the opposite direction and there is a lot of frame of reference stuff involved.

Reason is that there is no arrival speed v. As soon as the space craft is in the vicinity of the Moon it goes faster and faster attracted by the gravity of the Moon and will crash (unless it misses altogether - no gravity attraction).

Literally every orbital physics simulator there is (including one that I made myself) thinks otherwise.

Part of the Heiwa Challenge 2 (the Moon trip) (topic) is to explain how you brake your space craft approaching the Moon to avoid a crash. You can e.g. try to first fly into a Moon orbit (Apollo 1960's) and later land with a another module, or do it Tintin Belgian style 1953, i.e. brake all the time until you arrive at Moon surface at speed 0 - touch down.

I have already made a video of me doing that in Orbiter and posted it on YouTube.  here it is:
" class="bbc_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">

I still need to do the return trip, I will record and upload that today.

Both possibilites are impossible ... like any gravity assist kick in space. Only silly, religious fools believe in Father Christmas, Moses getting stone tablets from the sky, Jesus walking on water, Muhammed hearing voices in a cave, people flying in space, etc, etc.

They do not understand the God made such things impossible.

Ummm...  What?

If you study the NASA reports of the Apollo 11 Moon trip you will find that the velocity of the space craft Apollo 11 changed all the time during trip Earth/Moon.

It was maximum when leaving Earth. Then it slowed down all the the way to the Moon until Moon gravity became stronger than Earth gravity, when the velocity started to increase again in direction to the Moon.

Apollo 11 was always subject to strong gravity forces of Earth and Moon all the time. Obviously the velocity of Apollo 11 cannot be constant during the trip.

In the meantime Earth orbits the Sun and the Moon orbits the Earth.
 
It seems your video does not reflect this. Suggest your Earth, Moon and space ship velocity vectors are relative the Sun (assumed stationary).

It seems you do not believe in Tintin landing straight on the Moon 1953 but that it is a good idea to enter Moon orbit first and calm down and have a look Apollo 11 1969 style. Why not? But how to do it? Does your simulator assume the Moon is stationary?

In order to win my Challenge 2 I need a record of the space ship velocity vector during Moon orbit insert, when velocity is reduced from arrival speed to constant Moon orbit velocity and direction changes from away from Earth to into Moon orbit and fuel consumed. I am also curious to know in what direction your brake force is applied during this complex manoeuvre.

You know, if you apply the brake force in the wrong direction at any time, you will not enter Moon orbit but miss the target.

Good luck.

PS The video is really bad. 100% CGI with no math. Looks like the 911 WTC 1/2 top down global collapses (the Heiwa 1 challenge).

My math is from http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath114/kmath114.htm .

That website does not accurately depict the shape of the trajectory, it actually looks more like this:

Yep, that's a hyperbolic trajectory and the black lines represent asymptotes.  Sorry, those words are probably too mathematical for you to understand.


LOL. The blue planet is stationary and the space craft trajectory only bends a little ... in 2-D. It is not math. It is a cartoon. LOL.

You seem to think that all gravity kicks require a near 180 degree turn. Why do you cling to that delusion?  You also seem t struggle with a diagram meant to simplify a principle. I imagine in practice that trajectories would be chosen to make it as close to a 2D problem as possible.

?? In above figure I just see a green moving point passing a stationary blue point. If the blue point moves left the green point will collide with the blue point.  Suggest you improve the presentation with two moving points, etc, etc.

I think all gravity kicks are religious illusions.

OK, is this better?
The green dot now has less velocity after the maneuver then it did before.

If you study the NASA reports of the Apollo 11 Moon trip you will find that the velocity of the space craft Apollo 11 changed all the time during trip Earth/Moon.

It was maximum when leaving Earth. Then it slowed down all the the way to the Moon until Moon gravity became stronger than Earth gravity, when the velocity started to increase again in direction to the Moon.

Apollo 11 was always subject to strong gravity forces of Earth and Moon all the time. Obviously the velocity of Apollo 11 cannot be constant during the trip.

You actually got something right for once.

In the meantime Earth orbits the Sun and the Moon orbits the Earth.
 
It seems your video does not reflect this. Suggest your Earth, Moon and space ship velocity vectors are relative the Sun (assumed stationary).

Considering that there are no absolute reference frames and that velocity is relative and not absolute, why does it matter?

It seems you do not believe in Tintin landing straight on the Moon 1953 but that it is a good idea to enter Moon orbit first and calm down and have a look Apollo 11 1969 style. Why not? But how to do it?

I do a descending orbit insertion maneuver to bring the lander close to the surface and then I execute the PDI program which points the lander retrograde and slows it down to a stationary hover above the Moon after which it slowly brings it down to the surface.  I explained this all in the video.

Does your simulator assume the Moon is stationary?

No, if you knew how to understand the orbital MFD then you would see that when I targeted the Moon it showed that the Moon was nowhere near my trajectory but it was there by the time I got near apogee. 

In order to win my Challenge 2 I need a record of the space ship velocity vector during Moon orbit insert, when velocity is reduced from arrival speed to constant Moon orbit velocity and direction changes from away from Earth to into Moon orbit and fuel consumed.

You can see the fuel levels and velocity if you look at the right places on the HUD.  I am not sure if I

I am also curious to know in what direction your brake force is applied during this complex manoeuvre.

Retrograde, AKA I slowed down relative to the Moon.

You know, if you apply the brake force in the wrong direction at any time, you will not enter Moon orbit but miss the target.

Good luck.

Yeah, but lunar orbit insertion is one of the easier maneuvers.  You just have to apply retrograde thrust just before you hit pedigree.  By the way, I am using space travel jargon that you probably won't understand to try to force you to do research on the topic.

PS The video is really bad. 100% CGI with no math. Looks like the 911 WTC 1/2 top down global collapses (the Heiwa 1 challenge). 

Yeah, it's a simulator.  What do you expect?  Did you think that it would contain actual footage from the Apollo missions or something?  I made it to prove that it's possible to do the Apollo mission with the AMSO mod in Orbiter, and if you want to check the code then nothing is preventing you from doing that.

This is about the level of competence I'd expect from a glorified boat mechanic LOL.

Or is this whack-job Bjφrkman now claiming to be knowledgeable in aeronautics and astrophysics?  How does one make that leap from a grease monkey who changes the oil and pumps diesel for a boat engine?  Which is why he must be wearing that sexy blue boiler suit in his avatar?

Although I have to admit the LED flashlight and the hard hat are a nice convincing touch... very professional.
