Rockhem Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMagic Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 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.

VelocityPolaris Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 'Good, i have 8k m/s of delta-VI have 10, but the emergency system has 2.1k. Do you think I could get back from laythe orbit with the abort system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist290 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 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.
