Again, this is typically done as a single maneuver (~510 m/s) at your periapsis. It will need about 250 m/s to capture with an Ap near the edge of Duna's SoI, and 360 more to get a circular orbit in low Duna orbit. Once you get into Duna's SoI, you will need to do another maneuver to capture your craft into Duna orbit Delta V to Surface: x With this, a deltaV calculator in the engineer's report, and a basic alarm clock in the Tracking Station players would have all they need to plan complex interplanetary missions. That other 10 m/s above the orange line is to adjust your inclination since Duna isn't orbiting at 0 degrees like Kerbin is. Time until Intercept: x Set Alarm Delta V to Capture (100km): x. It will be easier to figure out how long the maneuver will take if its all done on a single stage. Typically, the 930 & 130 will be done in a single maneuver (so roughly 1060 m/s to go from Kerbin to Duna) but it doesn't matter if that is all done by a single stage or two or ten. You need roughly 3400 m/s to reach orbit, then another ~930 m/s to reach the edge of Kerbin's sphere of influence ( SoI), and another ~130 m/s to get to Duna by the map. And the main reason I try for at least 0.3g is that I'm impatient.īut for you original question, the dV map.
#Kerbal space program delta v map full#
Most of my orbital/interplanetary craft have acceleration around 0.3 - 0.6g at full fuel. If it takes 950 to leave LKO, 100 to transfer to Duna and 600 at Duna to circularize then to get home from Duna is going to require 600 to leave Duna, 100 to transfer to Kerbin and 950 to circularize at Kerbin. But for a smallish manned mission (like 3 kerbals in a Mk1-3 pod), a Rhino should be overkill. The delta v charts are reversible, except for landing and taking off on planets/moons with atmospheres. It all depends on what you are trying to get to Duna. Also, despite the KSP lore of MOAR BOOSTERS, bigger is often not better - you can often go further with smaller craft, since they are less massive and therefor require less fuel to move.
