Hey everyone,
I've been writing a program in Python to try to take some of the guesswork out of planning certain types of missions. There's a neat Python module I've been using for this (PyKEP) but looking at it now I think the positions it gives for some planets doesn't quite match up with those planets' positions in Orbiter. For instance, at one point I've noticed a 0.05 degree discrepancy in Earth's ecliptic position. Is there a way that I can just get that data directly from Orbiter to make planning Orbiter missions more accurate?
