Plan a Travel in Space-Time using a Rocket in Relativistic Speed

The Trip supposes a phase of constant acceleration, optionally followed by a phase of constant deceleration

Space/Time Data

Time Relative to Rocket
Acceleration
Travel Option Acceleration Only Acceleration and Deceleration

Rocket Data

Specific Impulse or Exhaust Speed
Distance km light-years
Time Relative to Galaxy seconds years
Maximum Speed m/s speed of light
Mass Ratio (final / initial) %

The formulas (for the acceleration phase) are:
time0 = c sinh(acc time / c) / acc
dist = c2 (cosh(acc time / c) -1 ) / acc
speed = c tanh(acc time / c)
mratio = exp(- acc time / exspeed)

where:
time0 = time relative to the Universe
acc = acceleration
time = time relative to rocket
dist = distance
speed = final speed
mratio = mass ratio
exspeed = exhaust speed
