Parts

Revision as of 02:34, 30 July 2011 by Entroper (talk) (Specific Impulse can be defined as thrust over mass (speed), or thrust over weight (time). I added a note to clear up any confusion.)

A three-stage rocket featuring each of the default parts

This page lists the rocket parts that are included with Kerbal Space Program. These parts are also called vanilla parts or default parts.

Units are given as Newtons (N) and Kilograms (kg), but there is likely a scaling factor involved. As long as your scaling factor is applied equally to all measures, the math will work just fine, so if you prefer, you can think in terms of metric tons and kN.  :)

Propulsion

  • Note:* Specific Impulse is given as N*s/kg, which is equivalent to m/s, and also equal to the effective exhaust velocity produced by the engine.
Part Thrust (N) Mass (kg, full / empty) Fuel Units Fuel Consumption (units/s) Specific Impulse (m/s)
