Transfer Calculation Delta-V


Recommended Posts

Hi,

before anyone says, I have searched.

The Delta-V map is excellent and I can use it to plan journeys to anywhere to or from Kerbin.

I am sure that some of the capture velocity is due to the speed I need to leave Kerbin.

What I am struggling to find is a a toll or map that can ssisst me calculating the deltaV from Low Planet Orbit to Low Other Planet Orbit for the entire system.

Can anyone advise?

Cheers,

RBS.

Isn't it? You can't just add Eve-Kerbin dV to Kerbin-Jool?

Well, no.

The capture Delta-V (1330 + 80) at Eve is based on the velocity you arrive from Kerbin with. It is not the equivalent of the 950 figure at Kerbin, for one example.

That appears to do the trick.

Thanks.

Thanks.

And after a few tests it indeed does do the trick.

Oh, I see what you mean.

I always do aerocapture, so it never came up for me.
