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.

TWR=FTmg>1{displaystyle {text{TWR}}={frac {F_{T}}{mcdot g}}>1}
Where:
  • FT{displaystyle F_{T}} is the thrust of the engines
  • m{displaystyle m} the total mass of the craft
  • g{displaystyle g} the local gravitational acceleration (usually surface gravity)

Combined specific impulse (Isp)

→ See also: Specific impulse

If the Isp is the same for all engines in a stage, then the IspAshlee morales hit by drunk driver for mac. is equal to a single engine. If the Isp is different for engines in a single stage, then use the following equation:

Isp=(F1+F2+)F1Isp1+F2Isp2+{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.

Δv=ln(MstartMend)Isp9.81ms2{displaystyle Delta {v}=lnleft({frac {M_{start}}{M_{end}}}right)cdot I_{sp}cdot 9.81{frac {m}{s^{2}}}}
Where:
  • Δv{displaystyle Delta {v}} is the velocity change possible in m/s
  • Mstart{displaystyle M_{start}} is the starting mass in the same unit as Mend{displaystyle M_{end}}
  • Mend{displaystyle M_{end}} is the end mass in the same unit as Mstart{displaystyle M_{start}}
  • Isp{displaystyle I_{sp}} is the specific impulse of the engine in seconds

True Δv of a stage that crosses from atmosphere to vacuum

Body Δvout

Calculation of a rocket stage's Δv, taking into account transitioning from atmosphere to vacuum. Δvout 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.

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.)

Isp

  1. When Isp is the same for all engines in a stage, then the Isp is equal to a single engine. So six 200 Isp engines still yields only 200 Isp.
  2. When Isp is different for engines in a single stage, then use the following equation:
Ksp delta v map mod
  • Equation:

Isp=(F1+F2+)F1Isp1+F2Isp2+{displaystyle I_{sp}={frac {(F_{1}+F_{2}+dots )}{{frac {F_{1}}{I_{sp1}}}+{frac {F_{2}}{I_{sp2}}}+dots }}}

  • Simplified:
Isp = ( F1 + F2 + .. ) / ( ( F1 / Isp1 ) + ( F2 / Isp2 ) + .. )
  • Explained:
Isp = ( Force of thrust of 1st engine + Force of thrust of 2nd engine..and so on.. ) / ( ( Force of thrust of 1st engine / Isp of 1st engine ) + ( Force of thrust of 2nd engine / Isp of 2nd engine ) + ..and so on.. )

Ksp Delta V Map 1.10

  • Example:
Two engines, one rated 200 newtons and 120 seconds Isp ; another engine rated 50 newtons and 200 seconds Isp.
Isp = (200 newtons + 50 newtons) / ( ( 200 newtons / 120 ) + ( 50 newtons / 200 ) = 130.4347826 seconds Isp

Δv

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

Δv=ln(MstartMdry)Isp9.81ms2{displaystyle Delta {v}=lnleft({frac {M_{start}}{M_{dry}}}right)cdot I_{sp}cdot 9.81{frac {m}{s^{2}}}}

Ksp Delta V Map

  • Simplified:
Δv = ln ( Mstart / Mdry ) * Isp * g

Ksp Delta V Map How To Read

  • 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 Isp.
Δv = ln ( 23 Tons / 15 Tons ) × 120 seconds Isp × 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:
Δv=21.576745349086Isp{displaystyle Delta {v}=21.576745349086cdot I_{sp}}
Ksp Delta V MapKsp Delta V Map
  • Simplified:
Δv =21.576745349086 * Isp
  • 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 Isp.
Δv = ln ( 18 Tons / 2 Tons ) × 380 seconds Isp × 9.81m/s² = Maximum Δv of 8199.1632327878 m/s
Δv = 2.1972245773 × 380 seconds Isp × 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 Isp = 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.'
  • Equation for Kerbin atmospheric escape:

ΔvT=ΔvatmΔvoutΔvatmΔvvac+Δvout{displaystyle Delta {v}_{T}={frac {Delta {v}_{atm}-Delta {v}_{out}}{Delta {v}_{atm}}}cdot Delta {v}_{vac}+Delta {v}_{out}}

  • Simplified:
True Δv = ( ( Δv atm - 2500 ) / Δv atm ) * Δv vac + 2500
  • Explained:
True Δv = ( ( Total Δv in atmosphere - 2500 m/s) / Total Δv in atmosphere ) X Total Δv in vacuum + 2500
  • 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
