Flight Question Optimum dV

[2Gm over cxc]

Does anyone know of a chart or site that lists the minimal dV required to transfer to another planet from Earth?



Specifically, for using as a benchmark when developing transX plans to gauge the efficiency of a chosen launch window.

Or if anyone knows a decent dV to transfer to Venus (what I am currently doing)

An equation would work too.:thumbup:

Here is an amusing delta-V map for Earth/Mars/Venus and satellites:

There is also the Excel 'Cosmic train schedule' spreadsheet.

Even better than what I wanted, with time and date. Thanks.

P.S. Love that drawing lol.

There are also these planners, which can give you trajectory solutions for non-Hohmann transfers, giving you a wider variety of launch windows and transit times:

These posts are very nearly sticky-worthy in the Math and Physics forum for example, in my opinion.
