Thruster.ThrusterGravityConst Property

Top 

Description

The value of the gravitational acceleration at the surface of the Earth. Used in the conversion of specific impulse (Isp) between English and MKS units. The default value is 9.81 m/s^2 but can be adjusted to the value adopted by the thruster manufacturer. Used for mass depletion.
