How fast did Wheatley get thrown into space?

Be me. Finish portal 2 and watch wheatley get yeeted into space. I want to make a fluids simulation for this and figure out how fast he got thrown. I did a rough estimation a while ago assuming it was a free jet of air passing through the portals( which i also figured out the area of). Because of the different gravitys of earth and the moon what would be the best way to get an estimation that seems realistic? My figures show he got thrown at 907MPH and had a projectile arc of about 51 km. The moon has a gravity well that tapers off at a certain distance from it which is about 80-85 km. In my run through wheatley would smash back into the moon at 907MPH. I was able to figure out wheatley's mass by finding his volume and assumed he was as heavy as the heaviest prop in the game, weighted test cube, and found he would actually float on water. However in the end we see the space core and him locked in a binary orbit. If we know the mass of the space core and the behavior of its orbit we can very easily find wheatley's mass. We can extrapolate the orbit based on what we see in the game. So yeah thats what ive done with my engineering degree so far instead of getting a good job.
