ComradeGoat Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Where are you trying to get to? For Laythe, I tend to aerobrake at about 118km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caba111 Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 I'm sending a large probe ship to the system. I'm planning on landing on all of the moons except Tylo.118 sounds good. Laythe is going to be the focus of the expedition. I might send a manned lander there next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnno Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 There is no 'optimal aerobreaking' seeing as it depends entirely on what speed you're coming in at and what final apoapsis you want.Try this: http://alterbaron.github.io/ksp_aerocalc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidiness Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I've found that if I attempt to aerobrake on Jool at an altitude lower than 190km, Jool completely sucks in my ship with no hope of escape, so I recommend aerobraking at 195km several times until you reach your desired apoapsis height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
