Re: Coolant [Spaceships]
Found a site with worked numbers. https://space.stackexchange.com/ques...-get-you-there
These are all from earth The Moon / Luna: Closest to Earth (Supermoon): 356,577 km Travel time (at 9.80665 m/s2, no deceleration): 2h 22m 12s Travel time (at 9.80665 m/s2, decelerating halfway): 3h 20m 24s So turnover at 1h 40m gives you 42m to stop it. Should be doable if it isn't a warship with armor and point defenses. Mars: Closest to Earth: 65 million km Travel time (at 9.80665 m/s2, no deceleration): 1d 7h 58m 5s Travel time (at 9.80665 m/s2, decelerating halfway): 1d 21h 13m 1s Turnover at 23h, gives about 9 h to stop it. That all sounds like you can with procedures and pre planned interceptors deal with it. Lots of possibility for complacency, budget cutting and such to make it a PC problem that they have to make do. |
