Finding Rocket Mass?

[Nikolai]

Is there a convenient way to find a rocket's, plane's, or subassembly's mass in the VAB or SPH without adding up the masses of the individual parts? It's not a big deal... just looking to streamline TWR calculations for a Duna lander with about a dozen variations.

simple, download Kerbal Engineer. Gives you mass as well as TWR, delta-v etc.

the part weighs nothing, so if you are trying to stick with just stock you'll be fine.

There's not an easy way to do so in the VAB/SPH with stock KSP. You can, however, launch it and go to the map. In the map there is an icon on the right side. Click on that and you can find out the ship's mass.

Unless you use mods, the only easy way, as Claw mentioned, is to place the rocket on the pad, go to map mode, and click on the status marker on the right. Then, just hit Esc and revert the flight back to the VAB.

Here is one example for an interplanetary orbiter probe.

Should probably also mention that if you use launch clamps, the weight of those things is included in the map number. You'll have to subtract out that weight after the fact or take them off before you launch to check the map.

Thank you all, gentlemen.
