Calculate payload mass to orbit


MR L A

Recommended Posts

Hi all!

When downloading craft - a lot of builders include a tonange to some specified orbit - usually 100km - and sometimes another tonnage to a greater orbit if the launch vehicle is capable (250km, to Duna etc.)

I would like to add these values to my own designs, but I'm not particularly keen on simply strapping on weights until I find the limit. I know the rocket equation should provide me with the answer I'm looking for, but I'm wondering if anyone out there has created a spreadsheet recently that includes options for number of stages/boosters where I could just plug in a bunch of values like stage isp, wet/dry mass?

Thanks!

If you want a spreadsheet it can be done but it’s a lot easier to use the game’s calculators, see answers here if that’s an option:

Also I predict a trip shortly to Gameplay Questions and Tutorials for this thread :ph34r:
