This template calculates terminal velocity of an object given the planet and the altitude from the planet's surface. It uses {{BodyData}} with the properties mass, radius, pressure and scale height.
(M is the mass of the body, r is the body's radius, p0 is pressure at 0 m altitude (“sea level”), a is the altitude above sea level and H is the scale height)
The formula assumes that the coefficient of drag (d) is 0.2 and is used from the atmosphere article.
