Hello, I had a question concerning the Delta V. of modern rocket engines, which I hope isn't too much off -- topic. Could a satellite's rocket engines provide enough thrust to develop a Delta V. of 10 kilometers per second while operating in Earth orbit or deep space? Assume a vehicle with a mass between 20 and 50 kilograms, which includes the mass of the engine and the payload (I'm making this on the conservative side, because this is a theoretical problem only). If you think this topic is off -- topic, then please respond to me by private e-mail. Thanks! --------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wojack tlj18@juno.com ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
