Maximum velocity attained is that achieved when half the travel distance is used for acceleration, half for deceleration--with no coast time. Nominal velocity is the anticipated comfortable coast velocity which the crewmember will probably utilize. Total usable propellant 32 is 40 Ibs.

The total system (MMU/EMU + cargo) cg is therefore offset by 0,43 ft in Z axis. MMU logic coml)ensates for this offset by periodically turning off two X-axis thrusters during translational acceleration. This increases the time required to achieve a given velocity as shown below.

Essentially, cg offsets do not result in increased fuel consumption, but merely increase slightly the amount of time needed for translation.
