<br />
'''Laythe''' is one of the five [[w:Natural satellite|natural satellites]] of [[Jool]]. Although mostly covered in seas, Laythe has numerous rocky, sandy islands. Laythe is tidally locked to Jool. Synchronous orbits around Laythe are not possible, as they would lie outside of its SOI, at a radius of 5,186,399 meters. A circular [[w:archipelago|archipelago]] that is prominent in maps suggests that Laythe suffered a massive impact in its distant past.<br />
<br />
Achieving a stable orbit around Laythe from sea level requires a [[delta-V]] of ≈2800 m/s.<br />
<br />
== Atmosphere ==<br />
Laythe's [[atmosphere]] begins at 55,262 meters and is slightly less dense than Kerbin's. It is the only natural satellite in the game which has an atmosphere.<br />
<br />
Like all other atmospheres in the game, Laythe's atmosphere fades exponentially with increasing altitude (with a scale height of 4000 m). In general, the atmospheric pressure on Laythe at an altitude expressed in meters is:<ref>A [[LV-N Atomic Rocket Engine|nuclear engine]] has a specific impulse of 220 in 1 atm, 800 in vacuum, and the following at various Laythe altitudes:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
| altitude (m) || 600 || 1464 || 1800 || 2238 || 2698 || 3296 || 4104 || 16435<br />
|-<br />
| specific impulse || 400.7 || 478.2 || 504.2 || 534.8 || 563.7 || 596.5 || 633.7 || 792.4<br />
|}</ref><br />
<br />
:<math>p_l = 0.8\ e^{-altitude/4000}</math><br />
<br />
With proper [[aerobraking]] near Laythe and Jool, reaching Laythe may require the least delta-V of all of Jool's moons. When approaching Jool on a Hohmann transfer orbit from Kerbin, aerobraking with a Jool periapsis of 119.5 km will put your apoapsis roughly near Laythe's orbit.<br />
<br />
Landing on higher points of Laythe's surface has to be done with a help of retro burns as parachutes alone are not enough to sufficiently lower velocity for landing.<br />
<br />
Jet engines work in Laythe's atmosphere as it contains oxygen. However, their efficiency is slightly lower.<br />

The '''Rockomax Hubmax Multi-Point Connector''' is a part used to connect objects in 6 different directions, often for docking purposes<br />
== Usage ==<br />
Despite the name implying that this part can be used for docking, it cannot dock with other parts without additional parts. Use either the <br />
[[Clamp-o-tron Docking Port|Clamp-o-tron Docking Port]], [[Clamp-o-tron Jr.|Clamp-o-tron Jr.]], or [[Clamp-o-tron Shielded Docking Port.|Clamp-o-tron Shielded Docking Port.]] to ensure this part can be used for docking.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, it simply provides a point to connect objects in 6 separate directions.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
{{quote<br />
|When it was unveiled at the 3rd annual Rockets & Explosions festival, the HubMax Multi-Point Connector caused several patrons to die of shock on the spot. 'All my life I thought rocket parts could be placed one way - up! But Rockomax today has shattered that notion' said one survivor, who asked to remain anonymous. Needless to say, this part may very well herald a revolution in construction technologies.<br />
