Aero Model

[GPride]

Hi Guys,

First time post and unsure if this is the correct place to post.

I am wanting to know the math behind the current Aero Model for Kerbin. I tried the wiki http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Atmosphere but seems to be out of date, or at least does not point directly to saying that what is described is for 1.02.

I'm trying to work out optimum conditions for launches and orbits.

IF anyone has any answers or ideas please help.

Thank you in advance.

Not sure exactly what you want, but I'd suggest this thread may help?

The most in depth discussion of the new aero I've seen is here. If you really want to dive down the rabbit hole, OhioBob and Claw hash things out further on pages 5&6.

^^^ This thread got pretty detailed in discussing how drag is computed.
