![]() ![]() From the KSP Wiki we calculate that liquid fuel weighs about 5kg/unit, so that means 4000units are exactly 20t of payload (structural mass excluded). Using one would require an enormous rocket and using more than three would probably be less efficient.ĮDIT: Okay here are the calculations, provided I didn't test any of these values.įirst, from this chart we can find out it would take about 4300m/s of delta-v to travel efficiently to Minmus. Also, more fuel means more weight which means more engines to get a TWR of 1.5 or so which mean, again, more mass.Įyeballing it, I'd say that, since 4000 units of liquid fuel are the equivalent of about 1.7 Rockomax Jumbo-64 orange tanks, you'll probably have to launch 2 to 3 rockets. ![]() ![]() The more mass you add, the more fuel you're gonna need to lift it off the ground and carry it to orbit, so multiple launches = less fuel on each launch, but the total amount of fuel will be greater because in a launch you're carrying extra mass that isn't fuel (the weight of the empty tanks, of the probe core / command module, and so on. Do you wanna do it the awesome mathematical way or the "I'm gonna eyeball it" way? ![]()
