Easy Orbital Mechanics I - Getting to the Moon

how you rich ISS if we are at same orbit (500km diameter) but with 180º diference in the same plane and axis? if i slow down i exit the orbit if i accelerate i exit orbit. Must be YES or YEs and deceleration and aceleration? Like an second launch just because we miss the first windows launch?

Very helpful now I can finally land my lunar module on south ploar region thank you!

I have been searching for this video for a long.

Brilliant and beautiful! Such an intuitive explanation that actually packs in tons of knowledge, all smoothly delivered to our brains in a minute! @ExploringSpace, you have a deep gift. Where have you gone? Why aren't you teaching us so much more? :)

as a KSP player, this is accurate. KSP really makes you intuitively understand the mechanics of relatively simple orbits and transfers such as this. i say relatively simple because gravity assist chains are a thing.

This was literally the best/easiest way to portray this lol thank you.

KSP taught me how this works

This is SUPER. Thank you!!

The most beautiful explanation I've ever seen.

Thanks! A video is truly the best and fastest way to learn!
Great work, great music.

Kerbal Space Program players need to watch this.

Op

If you enjoy this you should check Kerbal Space Program, which is a space flight game/simulator

우와 첨알았다.... 직선으로 피슝~~~~~~~~~ 하고 날라가는게 아니란걸

If you dont mind, can you explain why orbital get closer while engine was burning (part land on moon), i dont get it😅

It's not rocket science.
Wait..

My mind 🤯

How to dock in space

Put your rocket in reverse to park it on the moon

In Kerbal Space Program you routinley do this

hey, nice video man. I came from DDoI.

fails

I remember first seeing the Reddit post on r/AfterEffects for this video. Now I saw it on Daily Dose of Internet moments ago! Congrats!

Yeah... I totally didn't think that they just went straight up to the moon...

They need..." Trajectory " Or something

Thank you!

Excellent videos. A video on coming back and the need scrub the velocity off in the atmosphere, rather than return to earth orbit (to save a huge amount of fuel). Which leads to a video on deltaV and how it all adds up!

Great video! What software did you use?

Gibberish. I'll make a vid about this.

Wow so easy to understand this way

Here from TikTok. Kinda b/s that it has over 200k likes on there and not here 😔

Why rocket doesn't rotate but translate around earth 🤔🤔

I noticed you orbited earth counter-clockwise, then went into a clockwise orbit around the moon after flying in front of its path or orbit around earth, so making a figure eight. Is this more or the same efficiency as starting clockwise around earth and then transferring the same way as you did to the moon?

Excellent. Now how do you get back?

That's all I need to go to moon :)

Man this is the best video on a subject I've seen. You're criminally underrated. I hope you keep making more content.

You are amazing, that was great!

I didn't know I needed this channel. Now I know.

Great video, simple explanation, already love you.

keep them coming

Exactly what I always wanted. I suck at math and natural sciences, I even have dyscalculia. (A math disability) But space and spaceflight always interested and fascinated me.

Great content, new sub

Spaceflight simulator players:
Pathetic

Very easily understandable 👌

Love it! Could you please share what the music is?

These videos look so clean. What did you use to make them?

I came here from your reddit post. This is really elegant. Great work!

This is just too cool!

Yeah, get all that fancy math and terminology out of here!
