Thrust-to-weight ratio (TWR)

→ See also: Thrust-to-weight ratio

This is Newton's Second Law. If the ratio is less than 1 the craft will not lift off the ground. Note that the local gravitational acceleration, which is usually the surface gravity of the body the rocket is starting from, is required.

• ${\displaystyle F_T}$ is the thrust of the engines
• ${\displaystyle m}$ the total mass of the craft
• ${\displaystyle g}$ the local gravitational acceleration (usually surface gravity)

Combined specific impulse (I_sp)

→ See also: Specific impulse

If the I_sp is the same for all engines in a stage, then the I_sp is equal to a single engine. If the I_sp is different for engines in a single stage, then use the following equation:

${\displaystyle I_{sp}=\frac{(F_1+F_2+\dots )}{\frac{F_1}{I_{sp1}}+\frac{F_2}{I_{sp2}}+\dots }}$

Delta-v (Δv)

Basic calculation

→ See also: Tutorial:Advanced Rocket Design

Basic calculation of a rocket's Δv. Use the atmospheric and vacuum thrust values for atmospheric and vacuum Δv, respectively.

• ${\displaystyle \mathrm{\Delta }v}$ is the velocity change possible in m/s
• ${\displaystyle M_{start}}$ is the starting mass in the same unit as ${\displaystyle M_{end}}$
• ${\displaystyle M_{end}}$ is the end mass in the same unit as ${\displaystyle M_{start}}$
• ${\displaystyle I_{sp}}$ is the specific impulse of the engine in seconds

True Δv of a stage that crosses from atmosphere to vacuum

Calculation of a rocket stage's Δv, taking into account transitioning from atmosphere to vacuum. Δv_out is the amount of Δv required to leave a body's atmosphere, not reach orbit. This equation is useful to figure out the actual Δv of a stage that transitions from atmosphere to vacuum.

${\displaystyle \mathrm{\Delta }{v}_T=\frac{\mathrm{\Delta }{v}_{atm}-\mathrm{\Delta }{v}_{out}}{\mathrm{\Delta }{v}_{atm}}\cdot \mathrm{\Delta }{v}_{vac}+\mathrm{\Delta }{v}_{out}}$

Maps

Various fan-made maps showing the Δv required to travel to a certain body.

Maximum Δv chart

This chart is a quick guide to what engine to use for a single stage interplanetary ship. No matter how much fuel you add you will never reach these ΔV without staging to shed mass or using the slingshot maneuver. (These calculations use a full/empty fuel-tank mass ratio of 9 for all engines except those noted.)

Math examples

TWR

• Copy template:

TWR = F / (m * g) > 1

I_sp

1. When I_sp is the same for all engines in a stage, then the I_sp is equal to a single engine. So six 200 I_sp engines still yields only 200 I_sp.
2. When I_sp is different for engines in a single stage, then use the following equation:

• Equation:

${\displaystyle I_{sp}=\frac{(F_1+F_2+\dots )}{\frac{F_1}{I_{sp1}}+\frac{F_2}{I_{sp2}}+\dots }}$

• Simplified:

I_sp = ( F1 + F2 + .. ) / ( ( F1 / I_sp1 ) + ( F2 / I_sp2 ) + .. )

• Explained:

I_sp = ( Force of thrust of 1st engine + Force of thrust of 2nd engine..and so on.. ) / ( ( Force of thrust of 1st engine / I_sp of 1st engine ) + ( Force of thrust of 2nd engine / I_sp of 2nd engine ) + ..and so on.. )

• Example:

Two engines, one rated 200 newtons and 120 seconds I_sp ; another engine rated 50 newtons and 200 seconds I_sp.

Isp = (200 newtons + 50 newtons) / ( ( 200 newtons / 120 ) + ( 50 newtons / 200 ) = 130.4347826 seconds I_sp

Δv

1. For atmospheric Δv value, use atmospheric ${\displaystyle I_{sp}}$ values.
2. For vacuum Δv value, use vacuum ${\displaystyle I_{sp}}$ values.
3. Use this equation to figure out the Δv per stage:

• Equation:

${\displaystyle \mathrm{\Delta }v=ln\left(\frac{M_{start}}{M_{dry}}\right)\cdot I_{sp}\cdot 9.81\frac{m}{s^2}}$

• Simplified:

Δv = ln ( Mstart / Mdry ) * I_sp * g

How Do You Cheat A Craft Into Orbit? - Kerbal Space Program ..

• Explained:

Δv = ln ( starting mass / dry mass ) X Isp X 9.81

• Example:

Single stage rocket that weighs 23 tons when full, 15 tons when fuel is emptied, and engine that outputs 120 seconds I_sp.

Δv = ln ( 23 Tons / 15 Tons ) × 120 seconds I_sp × 9.81m/s² = Total Δv of 503.0152618 m/s

Maximum Δv

Simplified version of the Δv calculation to find the maximum Δv a craft with the given ISP could hope to achieve. This is done by using a magic 0 mass engine and not having a payload.

• Equation:

${\displaystyle \mathrm{\Delta }v=21.576745349086\cdot I_{sp}}$

• Simplified:

Δv =21.576745349086 * I_sp

• Explained / Examples:

This calculation only uses the mass of the fuel tanks and so the ln ( Mstart / Mdry ) part of the Δv equation has been replaced by a constant as Mstart / Mdry is always 9 (or worse with some fuel tanks) regardless of how many fuel tanks you use.

The following example will use a single stage and fuel tanks in the T-100 to Jumbo 64 range with an engine that outputs 380 seconds I_sp.

Δv = ln ( 18 Tons / 2 Tons ) × 380 seconds I_sp × 9.81m/s² = Maximum Δv of 8199.1632327878 m/s

Δv = 2.1972245773 × 380 seconds I_sp × 9.82m/s² = Maximum Δv of 8199.1632327878 m/s (Replaced the log of mass with a constant as the ratio of total mass to dry mass is constant regardless of the number of tanks used as there is no other mass involved)

Δv = 21.576745349086 × 380 seconds I_sp = Maximum Δv of 8199.1632327878 m/s (Reduced to its most simple form by combining all the constants)

True Δv

1. How to calculate the Δv of a rocket stage that transitions from Kerbin atmosphere to vacuum.
2. Assumption: It takes roughly 2500 m/s of Δv to escape Kerbin's atmosphere before vacuum Δv values take over for the stage powering the transition (actual value ranges between 2000 m/s and 3400 m/s depending on ascent). Note that, as of KSP 1.3.1, around 3800 m/s of Δv is required to reach an 80km orbit from the KSC.
3. Note: This equation is a guess, an approximation, and is not 100% accurate. Per forum user stupid_chris who came up with the equation: 'The results will vary a bit depending on your TWR and such, but it should usually be pretty darn accurate.'

Tutorials

• Equation for Kerbin atmospheric escape:

${\displaystyle \mathrm{\Delta }{v}_T=\frac{\mathrm{\Delta }{v}_{atm}-\mathrm{\Delta }{v}_{out}}{\mathrm{\Delta }{v}_{atm}}\cdot \mathrm{\Delta }{v}_{vac}+\mathrm{\Delta }{v}_{out}}$

Ksp Cheat Sheet

• Simplified:

True Δv = ( ( Δv atm - 2500 ) / Δv atm ) * Δv vac + 2500

• Explained:

Ksp Phase Angle Calculator

True Δv = ( ( Total Δv in atmosphere - 2500 m/s) / Total Δv in atmosphere ) X Total Δv in vacuum + 2500

Ksp Cheat Sheet - Lasopacontent

• Example:

Single stage with total atmospheric Δv of 5000 m/s, and rated 6000 Δv in vacuum.

Transitional Δv = ( ( 5000 Δv atm - 2500 Δv required to escape Kerbin atmosphere ) / 5000 Δv atm ) X 6000 Δv vac + 2500 Δv required to escape Kerbin atmosphere = Total Δv of 5500 m/s
