  Day 64 - Third Rotation

  Formula Reference:

  E = (m × c2) × η × φ

  Where:

  E = Usable energy output (joules)

  m = Antimatter mass (grams)

  c = Speed of light constant (299,792,458 m/s)

  η = Conversion efficiency coefficient (0.43 for current AM-Gen reactors)

  φ = Propulsion transfer ratio (0.67)

  Fuel requirement per kilometer:

  F = (D × M × g) / (E × ρ)

  Where:

  F = Antimatter fuel mass required (grams)

  D = Distance (kilometers)

  M = Vessel loaded mass (metric tons)

  g = Thrust gravity compensation factor (9.81 m/s2)

  ρ = Reactor optimization constant (2.8 × 101?)

  Current Calculation: Distance: 300,000 kilometers (300k clicks) Vessel: Exploration freighter, standard configuration Destination: [Pending clearance verification]

  Running the numbers for 300k clicks...

  F = (300,000 × 485 × 9.81) / ((m × c2 × 0.43 × 0.67) × 2.8 × 101?)

  Antimatter requirement: ~127.4 grams

  Supply Notes: Antimatter shipment scheduled arrival to Gasing 03 April 1st, 2132. Coordination with GP-0096 for transport logistics. He's apparently over 190cm. Didn't think they made pilots that tall. Also unfairly attractive, which seems irrelevant to fuel calculations but I'm documenting it anyway.

  Engineering Recommendation: Additional fuel storage module required for freighter bay. Current capacity insufficient for mission parameters. Forwarding specs to Engineering Team Delta.

  Wait.

  I'm rechecking the conversion efficiency coefficient. Is it 0.43 or 0.34? I used 0.43 but now I'm not sure if that's the updated value from the October calibration or if I'm pulling numbers from memory that aren't current. Should verify against the reactor specifications database.

  Probably should redo this entire calculation. I was up until 0400 and my eyes keep losing focus on the screen.

  I'll verify tomorrow. Or later today. What time is it?
