Celestial Body Gravity and Delta-V Data

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I made this table as a sort of quick-reference guide for my interplanetary missions (while deciding on fuel capacities and TWR for landers), and thought it might be useful.

All the info on here is straight from the wiki, but in one handy little package!

It has the surface gravity and g's for each body, as well as the minimum delta-v required to get from low orbit of the parent body to the surface and back to low orbit again. This means that aerobraking is always used.

eg. The value for Duna is from low Duna orbit to Duna surface and back to low Duna orbit, and the Ike value includes transfer from low Duna orbit to Ike, landing on Ike and return to low Duna orbit.

Values that include aerobraking are bold, and places where jets can be used are underlined.

eg. Moho is neither as it has no atmosphere, but Laythe is both.

Let me know if anything is wrong or anything, or if this is just a repeat post (I couldn't find anything like this, doesn't mean it doesn't already exist :P).

Also please feel free to suggest any updates/additions you might think are useful.
