  • Escape Velocity Calculator

    The following escape velocity calculator can determine the theoretical escape velocity given two user inputs. The formula for escape velocity is: Generally, we calculate the escape velocity from the surface of a planet or moon. In this case, is just the radius of that body. However, if an object is already at a certain elevation,…
