Tylo je třetí měsíc planety Jool. Je největší měsíc Joolu i celé sluneční soustavy a také největší vesmírný objekt bez atmosféry. Jako předloha pro Tylo posloužil Ganymed, měsíc Jupitera.

Přistání na povrchu je extrémní výzva. Gravitace je podobná jako na Kerbinu, ale aerobraking je kvůli absenci atmosféry nemožný. Na druhou stranu, díky jeho silné gravitaci může být Tylo použit jako gravitační prak pro vlet nebo výlet z Jool systému s minimálními náklady na palivo.

Vesmírná raketa obíhající těsně nad povrchem oběhne měsíc za 29 minut rychlostí okolo 2,170 m/s. Jako všechny další velké měsíce Joolu má Tylo vázanou rotaci s planetou. Synchronní orbita kolem měsíce je nemožná, protože potřebná výška 14,758,067 metrů je už mimo sféru vlivu.

Topography

Tylo má velmi hornatý povrch. Výška povrchu se pohybuje od nuly až po více než 11,290 metrů.

Tylo's surface looks similar to that of Mun, but has much fewer impact craters (especially on the side facing away from Jool) and is more uneven.

Due to the coloring of the surface of Tylo, it is likely that it is covered in a rhyolite layer of rock, nickel, a little cobalt, some sort of ice and dust, spread by meteorite impacts. Although very large in comparison to other moons, it is unlikely that it is a captured planet. For a planet of this size, Jool would have to be much larger and denser to produce a large and strong enough gravitational well. It is a mystery why Tylo hasn't formed an atmosphere.

Because of its high gravity and lack of an atmosphere, Tylo is very hard to land on and reach orbit from. However, low altitude orbits at high speeds can be achieved for these same reasons.

Reference Frames

Trivia

• Kerbin has the same equatorial radius as Tylo (600,000m) yet Tylo's surface gravity is much lower than Kerbin. This is most likely because Tylo is composed of low density matter.
• There are two known Easter eggs on Tylo. One is Carl Sagan's face on a mountain and the other is a cave-like underground formation.
