This escape velocity reference table shows the escape velocity for a range of mass of the body values, assuming a radius of 6,371 km. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Escape Velocity Calculator, so the numbers are exact.

How to use this table
Find the row closest to your mass of the body and read across to the escape velocity. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Escape Velocity Calculator for a precise answer.
Need a value that is not in the table? — the Escape Velocity Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
