Does anybody have a list of planet info in the Kerbal system


Recommended Posts

I want a list of each planets speed at per and apo, to best time my transfers for efficient dv. And the needed difference in v i will need to get me into an orbit

Or is there an equation to work out orbital speeds at specific altitudes so I can make the list?

The wiki has orbital speeds for each planet (min/max), along with all the other orbital parameters.

Here's a link to a fantastic delta-V map you can use for mission planning: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/96985-1-0-4-WAC-s-Delta-V-Map-continued-2-2-(Aug-13th)-Swash-transition

Wikipedia has a short article on orbital speed here, complete with equations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_speed
