Eve as seen from the map view.

Eve as seen from orbit in version 0.17

A topographic map of Eve made with the ISA MapSat plugin

Eve is the second planet from Kerbol, and only available in versions 0.17 and higher. It is purple in appearance. It has one small asteroid moon called Gilly.

Eve is the closest planet to Kerbin and the easiest to reach, requiring the least Delta-V of any planet. Having a similar size to Kerbin gives it a large gravity well and a thick atmospheric composition makes landings easier.

Atmosphere

The atmosphere begins at about 100 KM.

Natural Satellites

Eve's only natural satellite is the tiny asteroid Gilly which has been captured long ago.
