Laythe is nearly the size of Kerbin and The Mun is around half the size of Kerbin.This is a working replica of NASA's beloved Space Transportation System (STS), otherwise known as the Space Shuttle.Kerbol is the star and NOT a planet/moon. Pol, named after it's a similarity to a grain of Pollen, is the fifth and smallest moon of the Jool system.ĭres and Eeloo are dwarf planets. This asteroid moon is home to the Deep Space Kraken according to the Kerbal mythology. It is an asteroid that's supposedly an analog of any of the 59 minor moons of Jupiter. I think it's still up there to see for your own eyes! Bop īop is a captured asteroid that is the fourth and second-smallest moon of Jool. A cave-like formation, which between versions 0.2.1 and 1.0.5 was hidden beneath the surface. In real life, Ganymede is only larger than Mercury. It is the largest moon in the game and is the same size as Kerbin. Tylo is a rocky moon that is supposed to be similar to the Mun. There is an easter egg on Vall The Vallhenge, a Stonehenge-like set of blocks. It is an ice planet that is an analog of Europa, an ice satellite. Vall is the second and second-closest moon of Jool. There is an easter egg on Laythe The Sagan Sea, referring to Carl Sagan. It also has a breathable atmosphere and which means Kerbals can remove their helmets on the moon. Laythe is a blue, watery moon with sandy islands on it. Laythe is the first and closest moon of Jool. It is the only gas giant in the game and resembles Jupiter from real life but green, so any landing attempt will result in the destruction of your vehicle. It is the largest planet in the Kerbol system, it has 5 moons: Laythe, Vall, Tylo, Bop, and Pol. It has a large sphere of influence on Duna and getting a flyby of Ike is easy, but it can launch you out of Duna's sphere of influence, and this may or may not be a good thing. It orbits in a near geostationary orbit around Duna making, Ike, in the Dunatian sky making it seem like it slings to its sides. It is a large moon similar to the Mun in size. Minmus is an ice world and a very small asteroid sized moon orbiting Kerbin not far away from escaping its sphere of influence getting a Minmus encounter can be tricky sometimes, it may be a more viable option than the Mun since reaching orbit or landing there requires a lot less delta-V.ĭuna is a planet similar to Mars, but some noticeable features are the unusually large tilts, and it has a relatively small diameter of 320 km. The Mun gives very little science compared to the other moons and planets of this game. Landing on the Mun requires some Delta V. It has no atmosphere making parachutes useless. The Mun has similar gravity to its real life counterpart. The Mun is the Kerbal Space Program analog of the Moon. Kerbin has two natural satellites which are the Mun and Minmus. Kerbin gives the least amount of science than any of the planets in the game. Geostationary orbit can easily be achieved on this planet. Kerbin has high gravity and a large sphere of influence. It is one of two water worlds in the Kerbol system the other being Laythe. Kerbin is the home planet of the Kerbals. That combined with Gilly's small sphere of influence makes it very hard to get a flyby of.

Gilly is a small captured asteroid orbiting Eve in a highly elliptical orbit, and high orbital inclination. Gilly has a highly elliptical orbit, and high orbital inclination, in a way that it’s hard to enter and get an entry. It has one natural satellite, named Gilly (the smallest moon in all the Kerbol system). It has a strange purple atmosphere and soil, but its landscape has plateaus and what appears to be maria in the dark purple spots. Its equatorial radius is 250 Kilometers.Įve can be considered an analog of Venus, but it varies in some aspects, such as its larger size than Kerbin.

It is impossible to achieve a geosynchronous orbit around Moho. It has an orbital inclination of 7.0 degrees, and 1 mohoian year is 25 kerbin days, and 15.5 hours.

It is an analog of Mercury and has no moons. Moho is the closest planet to Kerbol and the one that revolves the fastest around Kerbol.
