Hello fellow bedroom astronauts!
TL-DR: how can I work out atmosphere heights, pressures, stuff to help me land on new bodies in game without cheat sheets?
One thing I really appreciate in the game is the incredibly steep learning curve! I’m now at a stage where I’ve got orbitals, mining operations and tourist busses flying round Kerbin and it’s moons, and have sent a few probes (and one brave astronaut, RIP) to Duna and eve.
I would like to take this further but need to know more about about these celestial bodies so I can build something suitable instead of getting all the way there to realise it’s not gonna work.
Of course I could use cheat sheets to figure out DV needed or atmosphere heights, strength of gravity etc but I’d rather use the in game instruments to work it out myself! Is this possible? Besides reading the temperature none of the data makes much sense! Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
