Get kerbal physic constants?

[paul23]

Well simply as the title says: what namespace should we look in to find the kerbal physics constants.. Most importantly the universal gravity constant.

They're all real, albeit rounded, with the exception of g0, which is usually 9.81 but sometimes (in ModuleEngines/ModuleEnginesFX/ModuleRCS) it's 9.82.

Well but where to "get" this number? in the API what class stores the number?

The universal G is hardcoded in game so you cannot access that directly. You can still use any celestial body's GravParameter and divide it with the body's mass to acquire the universal G though.

The g value used by engines is available in ModuleEngines/ModuleEnginesFX.g.

Yeah, KSP lurves its hard-coded numbers, sadly.
