Then Tangential Transfer = Hohmann Transfer. As a matter of fact Tangential Transfer is very useful for rendezvous with other ships/orbital stations. If the source and/or target trajectories are highly eccentric ellipses, sometimes a better solution may be found. But Tangential Transfer would still be close.QuoteGXE3 wrote:How do you convert DV into the amount of fuel?From Tsiolkovsky's rocket equationM1 = M2 * exp(dV / Isp)M2 = M1 - MfwhereM1 - the mass of the ship before the burnM2 - the mass of the ship after the burnMf - the mass of fuel burneddV - delta-VIsp - the specific impulse, in m/s (= Isp in seconds multiplied by g = 9.806 m/s^2)Mf = M1 (1 - exp(- dV / Isp))For dV significantly smaller ( > 10 times ) than IspMf ~ M1 * dV/IspIsp can be calculated from the engine thrust (kN) divided by the fuel mass flow (kg/s). Both are displayed on DGIV middle panel. For DGIV "Moon" configuration Isp is 44000 m/s or (divided by g) = 4487 s. This is about 10 times what the current bipropellant rocket engines are capable of achieving.Edit: Oh, and of course, if the calculation gives you Mf bigger than what you actually have, this means you cannot achieve the desired delta-V.
