Does someone know what the difference in deltav would be to get to geostationary orbit from earth vs getting to lunar orbit from earth? A citation would be helpful.
I've tried looking this up, but from previous comments on this paper, I infer that I am misunderstanding something.
- t_fatus 7y agoGTO: ~11.5 km/s GEO: ~14 km/s (but you don't need that speed since the end of the cable is much slower, orbit period of ~28days instead of 24 hours) GEO <-> moon surface ~3.2km/s superbe reddit source: https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/1ktjfi/deltav_map_of_the_solar_system/ https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/1ktjfi/deltav_map_of...
- wbhart 7y agoThanks but that's not what I asked. I asked what is the difference in delta-v between getting from the surface of the earth to GEO vs getting from the surface of the earth to Lunar orbit. The answer is, there is almost no difference.
