Gurdamma is a young terrestrial planet resembling young earth during the Hadeon residing outside of the Kerbol system. This planet will be released in the Interstellar Update in Kerbal Space Program 2. Gurdamma experiences bombardment from asteroids and it has some lava lakes scattered across the surface. It also has large lakes and oceans of water filled craters. Gurdamma will have a thick atmosphere and very short days. The planet has a ring and one confirmed moon, Donk and one unconfirmed moon, Gup.

Surface

Gurdamma has a light brown surface covered almost entirely by craters and steep mountains. a portion of gurdammas craters are filled with water, creating large seas. gurdamma also sparce lava lakes which are formed by recent asteroid impacts.

Atmosphere

Gurdamma with an atmosphere.png

Gurdamma has a thick light blue atmosphere likely consisting of Steam, Co2 and nitrogen (considering early earth anolong) the atmosphere appears to be not as thick as Eve But more thick than kerbin basing off the opaqueness of the atmosphere. Gurdammas atmosphere will likely not be breathable.

resemblance to young earth

Gurdamma is an analog for a young terrestrial world that one day might bear life, but for now is a steamy world with a thick atmosphere, and a large close moon. Gurdamma also has a very short day, considering kerbins day is around 6 hours, and days on hadean era were only 12 hours, expect days on Gurdamma to be around 3 hours.


The story we're trying to tell with Gurdamma is that it's similar to Earth during the Hadean Eon, relatively shortly after the formation of the Moon. I was actually pretty surprised myself how close the Moon was immediately after its formation: 16 times larger in the sky than today, and just a whisker beyond the Roche limit! and Gurdamma has a very short day.'

Moons

Gurdamma has one confrimed moon, Donk. There is theorized to be another moon, called Gup.(Or Gop)
