Delta-V Map


Recommended Posts

Nicely done. Now to say that it\'s wrong in places. ;)

The Mün values 'seem' about right for going to the Mün, but the ?V needed to hit escape from the Münar surface is only ~800 m/s. I suppose that the extra 200 m/s for Mün <--> Mün transfer orbit is just margin of error?

The Kerbin <--> LKO values are highly drag dependent, with the low end (4500-4600 m/s) being for stock liquid fuel rockets launching east. Draggier stock solids are at ~5000 m/s, perhaps slightly more. Non-stock parts might be as low as 3000-4000 m/s.

Landing values are on the conservative side and rounded up. A sufficiently skilled pilot could probably do Low Mun Orbit <-> Mun in 0.6 km/s.

Mun -> Mun Transfer Orbit includes the delta-v required to intersect Kerbin\'s atmosphere. Travelling at Munar escape velocity still requires a second burn.
