Delta V requirements for orbiting various moons..


Recommended Posts

So I'm planning on building a sort of grand-tour ship, and one of the things I'd like to be able to do is re-fuel at various airless moons. However, one thing I can't seem to find is delta V charts for getting into circular orbits from the surface of planets/moons, does anyone have a link to a chart or calculator for it?

Have a look at the Delta-V maps.

They have the dV requirements for landing on airless bodies. Usually I take the same number for estimating the dV requirement for launching from the bodies to a low orbit (10km).
