Older delta-v tables:

Mesbin System Delta-V Table

This table displays the ejection and insertion burn delta-v between Mesbin and all of its moons, as well as landing and liftoff delta-v. Found both with manuever nodes and with the Transfer Window Planner mod.

This table displays the ejection and insertion burn delta-v between Valyr and all of its moons, as well as landing and liftoff delta-v.

Kaywell System Delta-V

This table displays the ejection and insertion burn delta-v between Kaywell's planets alongside the dwarf planet Wers and the star Gememma, as well as landing and liftoff delta-v where relevant.

Mesbin-centric Delta-V

Until I get a finalized Delta-V map, here is an empirical list of the delta-v to various locations in the system, found with Manuever Nodes from a space station in a 1,000,000 meter (from Polar Sea Level) orbit. Interplanetary transfers are found with the Transfer Window Planner mod.

NOTES

  • Minimum Flyby is the smallest burn that will result with your ship briefly intersecting the target's SOI. All except Kerbmun and Derbin are so close to their Nominal flyby that there's no real difference.
  • Nominal Flyby is a flyby which puts the apoapsis of the transfer orbit at the altitude of the target body. It may be possible to get a close flyby or collision with a lower transfer apoapsis (and thus lower delta-v) depending upon the specifics of the transfer.
  • Flying by planets below Mesbin should require no more than the Kaywell-Sundive Delta-v, and visiting planets above Mesbin should require no more than the Kaywell-Escape Delta-v.
  • These numbers don't account for plane change maneuvers which may be necessary.
  • Landing Delta-V on Thresomin, Troymin, and Statmun are all negligible, on the order of a few dozen meters per second or less. Landing Delta-V on Kerbmun and Derbin are negligible due to atmospheres. Therefore, only Graymun's landing delta-v is shown (And is an overestimate of what is needed with a more efficient landing profile than what I used)
  • Insertion Delta-v for other large planets can be minimized by inserting at higher orbits, or by utilizing gravity assists and aerobraking.
  • Fophie, Wers, Rik, Wolda, and Reander all have fairly variable transfer delta-v due to their inclinations and eccentricities. Using the Transfer Window Planner is best in these cases.

Liftoff/Landing Delta-v

Approximate delta-v for liftoff/landing on various planets and moons in the system. Calculated with a Liftoff Calculator based upon equations found on Nyrath's Atomic Rockets website, so take these (especially the atmospheric values) with a grain of salt.
