@@johnray854the ion engine is probably weaker than an RCS block. One way to have more control would be to increase the mass of the satellite, so the engine doesn’t move it as much with the same input.
This looks like a molniya orbit. This means that the craft orbits in such a way that it will pass over the exact same spot each time without needing to be a synchronous orbit.
If you want to know exactly how to do this with a detailed tutorial, check out my latest video!

Holy moly, i wasnt the only one who found out about this mun arch orbit :D
I'm struggling to get the orbital period perfect, right now it's either too fast or too slow and drifts
@@kazsmaz why not adjust the velocity/apoapsis by 0.0001 m/s?
@@yaakovc.5393 I do with an ion engine on 0.5% thrust
Why not a single rcs engine with thrust limiter at 0.5 @kazsmaz

Sick!
Crazy
Can you do this manually?
@@aidenpangborn2382 download Kerbal engineer and you should be able to. Id start off by landing under the arch
maybe with mechjeb but idk
@@kazsmaz Got it.
Very nice... very nice... Now do it without cheats using only mamooth engines
stable till the planet rotates and you hit a mountain
@@kajto3595 bruhhh no. I literally showed it over 4 orbits,

Yeah I don’t think you understand the entire point of this video
He almost synchronized the period with the rotation, it is actually more easier than you think.
Oh nvm
