Part 1 - Titus Statistics & Commentary Before flying on Titus it may be helpful to have an idea of where the differences lie compared with Droo. Titus has a much thicker atmosphere while also slightly less massive; orbital and aerobatic manoeuvres may be easier to preform, however it is important to note the significant increases in drag. Smaller rockets may benefit from making use of normally aspirated jet engines in the early stages of a launch; and are effective to 30,000km. For spacecraft, consider atmospheric drag as it will impact any craft until ~120,000km; twice the cut-off altitude of Droo. General Characteristics of Titus and Droo Titus Droo •Atmospheric Height: 126 km •Atmospheric Height: 58 km •Scale Atmospheric Height: 18 km •Scale Atmospheric Height: 8,435 m •Surface Air Density: 2.013 kg/m3 •Surface Air Density: 1.217 kg/m3 •Surface Air Temperature: 274 K •Surface Air Temperature: 288 K •Radius: 1,040 km •Radius: 1,274 km •Sea Level: 2 m •Sea Level: 0 m •Surface Gravity: 8.0 m/s •Surface Gravity: 9.8 m/s •Rotational Period: 14h •Rotational Period: 14h •Escape Velocity: 4.08 km/s •Escape Velocity: 5.00 km/s •Mass: 1.3E+23kg •Mass: 2.38E+23kg Page 1 Part 2 – Interpreting the Launch Site Area Charts ELEV 015 27 09 Above is an example of charts and what they aim to mirror; photos are taken at an altitude of 9km AGL oriented north and superimposed with descriptive icons and patterns. In the top right corner you will find the Launch Site elevation measured in metres ASL. At either end of the runway you will find the designated numbers determined by the approach heading; in this example runway 27 would signify the approach aimed directly west, coming from the east (right to left). As SimpleRockets evolves with each update you may expect to see new features being added to our maps. Area of Elevated Terrain 09 27 Runway Approach Lakes, Ponds, and Oceans Number Launch Site Additional Launch site information on location, circuit paths, and hazards will be available to the left of the map.
