Moho is the third-smallest planet and the one closest to Kerbol, with an orbital period of 102 days, the shortest in the Kerbol system, and an orbital velocity ranging from 12-18km/s, is also the fastest celestial body in Kerbal Space Program. Bringing additional panels, or an alternate powersource (e.g.: RTGs) is recommended. The physical characteristics of Eeloo are most likely an analogue of the ice moon Europa, and its orbit is similar to that of Pluto, though both bodies are known to have a tenuous atmosphere.Įeloo’s relatively large distance from Kerbol reduces solar power to approximately 4% at Eeloo periapsis and 1.4% at Eeloo apoapsis of the values seen at Kerbin. The two planets are locked in a 3:2 resonance, which, coupled with their different inclinations, ensures they cannot collide.Įeloo has just 3.5% more gravity than the Mun and is very similar in size. It is the seventh and farthest planet from Kerbol most of the time, though its orbit intersects Jool’s, passing in front of it for a minority of its revolution period. Dres is considered a dwarf planet by the game because it has not “cleared its neighborhood” in other terms, it has asteroids in close proximity.Įeloo is a dwarf planet that was released in version 0.18.2 as a Christmas gift to the KSP community. Dres has the least gravity of any planet in the Kerbol system. It is similar to Moho and Eeloo in that it has no atmosphere and no natural satellites (aside from a ring system of asteroids). It is considered to be the Ceres analog for the game. It is located between Duna and Jool in a somewhat eccentric and inclined orbit. At this point, anything that hits this altitude at any speed will be completely destroyed.ĭres is the fifth planet in the Kerbol star system. In versions following 0.23, the craft won’t stop at an altitude of -100 m, instead it will continue descending until it gets to -250 m. It was possible to land and plant flags on Jool before v0.23. While its distance from Kerbin makes it difficult to reach, it is one of the most appealing targets for missions due to its large and complex system of five moons: Laythe, Vall, Tylo, Bop, and Pol. Its extremely high gravity makes orbital maneuvers unpleasantly expensive. Aside from Kerbol, Jool has the largest diameter and greatest mass of all celestial bodies. It is the Jupiter analog for Kerbal Space Program. Jool is a gas giant and the sixth planet of the Kerbol star system. The trip may require a considerably higher delta-v budget for different orientations of Kerbin and Duna. If the planets align properly, using a ballistic insertion burn from 100km, with proper aerobraking, a round trip from Kerbin to orbit around Duna and back requires ~1700 m/s of LKO delta-v, a relatively low amount compared to other interplanetary destinations. Duna is a terrestrial planet with a red-brown surface and polar ice caps similar to that of Kerbin.ĭuna’s orbit has nearly the same inclination as Kerbin around Kerbol, making the planet one of the easiest to encounter. It has one tidally-locked and large natural satellite, the moon Ike. It is the Mars analog for Kerbal Space Program. Additionally, Eve has the greatest surface gravity of all the planets, and the second highest escape velocity, second only to Jool.ĭuna is the fourth planet from Kerbol and the fourth-largest planet. It is especially notable for its extremely thick, dense atmosphere, which makes aerobraking and returning two of the most dangerous activities in the game. It has one small moon: a captured asteroid called Gilly. The velocity required to escape a body from a given altitude is always exactly the square root of two times the velocity of a circular orbit around the body at that height.Įve is the second planet from Kerbol, the closest planet to Kerbin, and KSP’s analogue for the planet Venus. Many interplanetary missions expend over half of their Δv in reaching Kerbin orbit. The only planet that requires a higher Δv to attain orbit is Eve. With the introduction of version 1.0.3, attaining low Kerbin orbit requires a Δv of approximately 3400 m/s (vacuum), though the exact amount depends on the efficiency of the ascent profile and the aerodynamics of the launch vehicle and payload. Reaching a stable orbit around Kerbin is one of the first milestones a player might achieve in the game. However, Tylo has only 80% of Kerbin’s mass. Jool’s moon Tylo has the same radius of Kerbin, though it may be classified as larger, as the highest point on Tylo is about 5 km higher than the highest point on Kerbin. It is the third largest celestial body that orbits Kerbol, following Jool and Eve. Kerbin is the third planet in orbit around the star Kerbol. It is also the Earth analog for the game and has two moons named Mun and Minmus. Kerbin is the home planet of the Kerbals, the location of the Space Center, and the main focus of Kerbal Space Program.
