RedDwarfIV Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Veto Aerospace's latest effort, a low orbit craft intended for Moho exploration - named Low Orbit Explorer - carried out its mission, and followed orders to exhaust fuel at lowest possible orbit.This should give a better idea as to what size of craft the delta-v neccessary to reach low orbit translates to for future reference.This craft can only reach around Eve orbit.

robly18 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Actually, Scott Manley has made a video on how to exploit the Orbeth effect as to be much more fuel efficient about this kinda stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than exploiting the Oberth effect like James May would, he'd just be all like 'POWERRRRR!' before shunting his ship down to Moho. In many ways, he is like Jeb but in real life and with cars instead of rockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
