Jool return mission Delta-V

I have wondered, i want to know how much delta-v it takes to get to Jool and back. I have a spacecraft which i think can make it but i just want to confirm.

So what is the delta-v required from a 100 km equatorial Kerbin orbit? (not including launch, the vehicle i am using is assembled in space)

There are a lot of these delta-v charts floating around. For Jool and Kerbin though, you can aerobrake, significantly reducing the delta-v necessary to get into orbit around both planets.

It takes about 2000 m/s to get from Kerbin to Jool, and maybe 3000 or so m/s to get back. Obviously more if you want to do anything else while there.

Good, i have 8k m/s of delta-V

VelocityPolaris: While we're sure there's someone who can answer your question, we of the moderation team would like to drop a friendly reminder that it's probably best to take new questions to a new thread (preferably in Gameplay Questions) rather than reviving a thread that's been dead for almost two years.
