Are We There Yet?

How long does it take to reach orbit?

How long does it take to fly to the moon?

How long does it take to fly to Mars?

Well, you can get out your calculator and try to figure it our yourself, or you can use my handy Travel Time Calculator.

How To Use The Travel Time Calculator

All you need to use the Traveller Ship Travel Time Calculator is the distance you wish to travel and the Acceleration Rating (M-Drive Thrust Rating) of your ship.

You can find the Maneuver Drive Thrust Rating in the stats listing for the particular ship, but for reference:

Ship Type   Thrust
Free/Far Trader   1G
Scout (Type 1A)   2G
Mercenary Cruiser   3G
Patrol Corvette   4G

 

Next, you need to know the distance you want to travel.  Here are some examples:

Destination   Distance (km)
Glasgow to Edinburgh   67
International Space Station   400
New York to Los Angeles   3,944
Geosynchronous Orbit   35,786
Earth to Moon   384,400
Minimum Safe Jump Distance
Earth
  (100 Diamaters)
1,274,200
Earth to Mars   225,000,000

 

Keep in mind that the calculator figures the constant acceleration to the halfway point, then constant deceleration to the final destination.

Of course, ships don't have to travel full speed; a Patrol Corvette can go 1, 2, 3, or 4G.  Of course going slower means the travel time increases.

I hope you find the Traveller Ship Travel Distance Calculator a useful tool.  It can help you realize how long it takes to fly your ship around the solar system.

Enjoy!
