KSP Orbit Mechanic
planning your journey
Mod Description: KSP orbit Mechanic provides a robust minimum-fuel transfer analysis for Hohmann, Bi-elliptic, and inclined transfer schemes. More specifically, it will compare available transfer methods and analyze which option provides the minimum-fuel solution for the transfer data provided (i.e. initial altitude, target altitude, terminal radius ratio, etc). It also provides a complete analysis for all bounded orbits (i.e. elliptical or circular).
So if you’re still wondering what that means read the following:
- Once you’re in orbit, you’re going to need data to help you understand what kind of orbit you’ve achieved.
- Want to go somewhere? Select your preferred transfer method (e.g. Hohmann, Bi-elliptic, Inclined Three-Impulse, etc.) and enter your known data. KSP Orbit Mechanic will give you all the data you need (and quite a bit more).
- Want to intercept the Mun? Check out the Hohmann Transfer section and use 11400km for your outer orbit altitude; the data the follows will tell you the lead/lag angle needed to intercept the Mun, the Delta-Vs required to get out to the Mun’s circular orbit, and if a more efficient bi-elliptic transfer is available.
- Want to see how much more massive Earth is when compared to Kerbin? How about the equatorial radius? Surface gravity? If you answered “yes” to any of these, or would like to know anything and everything there is to know about the game’s celestial bodies (and a few real ones), check out the Astronomical Objects section.
It takes a while to get use to the system but it is well worth it.

How to Install Kerbal Space Program Mods.
After downloading once of the mods above you will need to unpack the mod by using your chosen software – I recommend WinRAR for mods that are .rar files.
Go to your KSP folder and locate the parts folder – \KSP\parts – this is where you need to extract the downloaded mod files. The extracted file structure should look a little something like this:-
\KSP\parts\PartName\…
\KSP\parts\PartName\mesh\…
\KSP\parts\PartName\textures\…
Next run Kerbal Space Program and go to the Vehicle Assembly Building and check that your mods have installed correctly. If they have, build a spacecraft a go!
