KSP/physics pros here

Hi guys,

So the answers on other places on the internet was't really good. So i would like to know what is the most efficient way to get in to low orbit (72km). No preblem if you have links to other places that could help and if it include math no problem. The rockets will be control by a script so it will be presize .

Thanks for help

What is the payload of the object you are trying to launch?

It will chnage every time so i can't give payload

Have you looked up Scott Manley on Youtube? He has a ton of excellent KSP videos, he explains the process much better than I can.

Scott Manley will certainly help and I also recommend using the Engineer mod so that it shows you how many delta V in m/s you rocket design has. You need this because in order to get into a 72KM circular orbit you'll need a certain about of delta V and if the payload is changing then you will need to design rockets appropriately to have sufficient power to lift them. If on the other hand you want to skip that side of the game there are mods that add lifter rockets and it says what weight of target package they can lift into low orbit (usually 60KM) and that would be much easier to work with.
