inzmru Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Hi everybody!I've a gift for you in my first post--this handy graph. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt'n Skunky Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Greetings and welcome to the KSP forums!That graph looks really useful. I wonder if someone could make a tool that would dynamically graph this information based on an altitude input.Happy Launching!Skunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if someone could make a tool that would dynamically graph this information based on an altitude input.That's a graph of velocity versus altitude...for a given altitude, there's nothing to graph.If you just want to calculate the needed velocity to just intersect atmosphere, my calculator will do that easily:http://files.arklyffe.com/orbcalc.html?a=1234500&p=634500&s=1e6I had considered adding this (well, a transfer to 50 km, allowing you to go to a low orbit to better pick your landing point, or just burn a little bit longer to directly reenter) to the table of circular/escape velocities and orbit periods. If there's interest, I can generate an updated version.inzmru, you might want to add your plot to this thread:http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=647.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
