GEO, Molniya, and Polar Orbits in KSP and NASA's Eyes

This week, we apply what we've learned in the last two episodes to talk about a few different orbit types. We'll go through the math concerning getting to geostationary orbit, we talk about the very creative Molniya orbit, and we switch to NASA's Eyes to talk about a very cool mission in polar orbit. There's a neat bonus feature at the end! NASA's Eyes was developed by JPL and is free to the public. It is a visualization tool that shows the positions of planets, moons, asteroids, satellites and probes. It's a really cool and useful app! You can find it at https://eyes.nasa.gov/. Make sure you launch it in 'Advanced' mode for maximum cool. Note: the executable itself is small, but it is a bit of a bandwidth hog.
