They were never considered stranded, except maybe for the few days between Starliner’s empty return and the Crew-9 Dragon’s arrival. Certainly not for 9 months.
Report: ended up scuttling the plans. I’ve had a few late nights in a row, and the transparency was bad enough to give me a good excuse to sleep instead. We’ll get them next time, team.
Nice work! Does the uncertainty come from error bars in the observed trajectory? I would’ve thought an asteroid’s path is pretty easy to pinpoint with enough information.
Yep, even the best telescopes have a bit of inaccuracy in their measurements, and we haven't been tracking it for long enough to determine its orbit with enough precision to know its exact trajectory.
Do we know if the Moon will be in the correct phase in it’s orbit when 2024 YR4 comes by? I didn’t notice a term to account for that, but I’m not too familiar with Desmos.
This is super cool! I was kinda hoping it would hit soonish. 2032 feels like it might as well be 3032 with how things are going. Hopefully this doesn’t mess up any of the world’s plans for lunar bases.
