Delta-v required to return from Mun


Recommended Posts

from launchpad to launchpad including mun landing, 7500+

Mun surface to KSC is, as stated, about 1000. This assumes you airbrake to a reasonable orbit before aiming to land at KSC. I`d add 100-200 more for wriggle room depending on how close to KSC you want to get.

a) ON Mun, around Mun or just 'Mun altitude orbit'?

B) Return to where?

Assuming you're landed on Mun this deltaV map shows it will take a minimum of 580 (to re-orbit) + 230 + 80 = 890m/s. As the others have said, you should give yourself something like 10% margin for error, so call that 979 and round it up to ... well, what do you know, about 1,000m/s, just like the others said :-)
