New to KSP and looking for some tips

[ravenhawk82]

Hi all! I've been lurking here since I got the game a couple weeks ago, and figured that since I can now get to the Mun, it would be fun to try some more challenging targets. I have found several ways to calculate phase and ejection angles for planetary travel, but I'm not entirely sure how to use that data... Could someone kindly either explain these terms or point me to a source that can? I'm pretty comfortable with finding the right phase angle (I think... Jeb and I will find out soon enough ) but I can't find a solid answer for the ejection angle. Help is muchly appreciated!

Hi ravenhawk82, welcome to the community

This is a pretty good tool for working out when to burn, I hope it helps you.

Welcome to the forums, ravenhawk82.

Don't forget your old friend Minmus on the way to different planets.

Like sal_vagar suggested, that is a good website and if you have a look around in the add-on section there will be add-ons that tell you the information required like ejection angle, etc.

Have fun playing KSP and go blow up some rockets!
