Laythe orbit delta-v


Recommended Posts

it should be around 3000-4000, similar to kerbin.

Lathe's atmosphere is almost half as thin as Kerbin. Same for it's gravity. If I had to guess, I'd say 2500-3000 max. Then again, I have not been there (and do not have hyperedit in this install; it does bad things) so I cannot confirm or deny any of these statements.

EDIT: I was close.

Achieving a stable orbit around from sea level requires a delta-V of ≈2800 m/s.
