How Much dV?

[KerballingSmasher]

Hey y'all! I'm getting ready to send my first kerbals interplanetary, but I'm not sure how much dV I need to get from Kerbin to Duna orbit (not landing yet, but I'll get there eventually) and back. I might try and do aerobraking around Kerbin, but not sure if I'll do it around Duna. Thanks in advance to all of you who help! Also, this is probably somewhere else in the forums, but I can't find it. Again, thanks!

 

P.S. if this is in the wrong area, I apologize for not being able to find my way around the forums yet... *shrug*

For what it's worth, Duna is a very forgiving place to aerobrake, due to the thin atmosphere, low gravity/orbital speed, and the fact that you don't need to dissipate much energy to capture on a transfer from Kerbin.  Though you may need a little trial and error to get the right altitude so that you capture without landing.
