This template calculates terminal velocity given a planet's mass (M), the distance of a body from the planet's center (r), and the atmospheric pressure (pressure), specified in units of 1 atm (the pressure at sea level on Kerbin). It assumes that the coefficient of drag is 0.2 and that the cross-sectional area is 1 m2.
