| How To Use The Orbital Shotguns In the first step I made a wild guess that it would take between .5 and 1 km/sec to get from the moon to L2. After entering values, the Submit button must be clicked. Pellet 4 falls back towards the moon while Pellet 5 flies into outer space. Using pull down menus, pellet 4's burn is used for the new Pellet 1 and pellet's 5's for the new Pellet 11. Each time changes are made, the Submit button must be clicked. By repeatedly refining shotgun blasts, you can get closer and closer to your target. |
