mubody.core.kepler.rocket_eq(Isp, mi, mf)

Tsiolkovsky rocket equation.

Computes the DeltaV obtained from a rocket which has consumed a certain amount of propellant.

Parameters:

• Isp (float) – Engine specific impulse [s]

• mi (float) – Initial mass (m0 + mp) [kg]

• mf (float) – Final mass after burn (m0) [kg]

Returns:

DV – Resulting delta-v [km/s]

Return type:

float
