Hi ftlwright,
Thanks for your reply i'll have a look at that website. I agree with you i don't think its the most suitable form of propulsion for a manned mission.
However the title of the project forces me to focus in that area so its a case of making the best of a bad situation.
Cheers
Hi cIclops
Thank you very much for the data I'm sure its going to prove very useful, if anyone has any more low thrust trajectory data please leave me a message or email me.
I'm trying to build up enough data to allow me to graph some results and get an idea of the delta V required for the mission i am planning, but its difficult as nearly all reference missions use software programs to calculate their trajectory for them and thus don't include the delta V's in their report.
Any help is much appreciated
Many Thanks
Hi,
I'm an aerospace student at Southampton University and am currently writing my dissertation on:
'Electric propulsion for a manned mission to Mars'
I'm trying to find any information on Delta V's for low thrust Mars trajectories. I know they vary depending on the type of thruster any most projects use computer programs to calculate low thrust trajectories.
But i could really do with values for the Delta V and corresponding specific impulse and thrust of the thruster.
Thanks very much
