任务燃料质量计算器公式

## Mission Fuel Mass

From the Tsiolkovsky equation, the fuel needed for a given delta-v depends exponentially on the ratio dv/ve.

### Formula

**m_fuel = m_dry * (exp(dv / ve) - 1)**

- *m_dry* = payload plus structural mass
- *dv* = required velocity change
- *ve* = exhaust velocity

This shows why high delta-v missions are so demanding on fuel.

计算示例

5000 kg dry mass, 3000 m/s delta-v, 3000 m/s exhaust velocity.

  1. m_fuel = m_dry * (exp(dv/ve) - 1)
  2. dv/ve = 3000/3000 = 1
  3. exp(1) = 2.7183
  4. m_fuel = 5000 * (2.7183 - 1) = 5000 * 1.7183
  5. m_fuel = 8591 kg
