Yes, this helps a lot! One question: Can you plot the terminal velocity plot you've mentioned? It is clear that this is a Goddard problem and it is not easy to solve analitically. So I will check Pecan's NASA link and Elington's software, but I feel that Claw's graph is enough for the game. Cheers!

Wow! Thanks for your answers! I actually want to know the max altitude not the max orbit. I think this is useful now in "First Contract". I want to optimize my rockets in order to perform different experiments in the same launch. To this end, I want to calculate the aproximate altitude (and velocity) of each stage so I can perform these experiments on different stages.

Hi! I have a simple question: How can I calculate the max altitude that my rocket will reach? It seems a simple question but I haven't found any post in the forum neither in the Wiki that computes this altitude (neither the max velocity the rocket will achieve). I tried to compute it using several of formulas (this,this and this) but they do not consider the drag caused by the atmosphere... Some pointer or guideline would be appreciated. Thanks!
