Will we get “constant thrust” in time warp this time around? Absolutely. That’s an astute question, because you couldn’t use time zoom under acceleration in the original game so often if you were building a long burn with a low-thrust engine, to go to a place like Duna or Jool,...

Trajectory and Course Corrections: The mission will utilize a Hohmann transfer orbit to reach Duna efficiently. During the transfer, multiple course correction maneuvers will be performed to ensure a precise rendezvous with Duna. The mission control team will calculate the required delta-v and timing...
