Kerbol/Data

This article is a stub. You can help KSP Wiki by expanding it.

Comparato al nostro Sole, Kerbol è 113 volte meno massiccio e ha una raggio tre volte più piccolo. Kerbol è simile ad una Nana Arancione per quanto riguarda la sua temperatura, ma potrebbe essere anche una Nana Rossa per quanto riguarda il suo raggio, o una Nana gialla se ci basiamo sulla luminosità. Tuttavia, basandoci sulla sua massa è una Sub-nana bruna.

Arbitando appena sopra la sua superficie si ha un periodo orbitale di 409.214 Minuti e una velocità di 66.945 km/s.

Sistema di riferimento

All Kerbol orbits are in an inertial reference frame. In the old demo, getting close enough to experience the lower maximum time warps results Deep Space Kraken attacks.

Trivia

• Between versions 0.7 and 0.10.1, Kerbol was a mere point of light in the skybox.
• Kerbol gained gravity in 0.12.
• It is still safe to drop below the 'surface' in 0.13.3, but a ship can break up from the extreme gravity gradients and/or shot outwards at large fractions of c.
• Since 0.14, close encounters will result in a collision that destroys the ship and kills all crew members.
• The current “surface” of Kerbol is an invisible, and likely, featureless plateau approximately 4500-4700 km above the nominal radius. There is no known way to land on it, as the Kraken makes all maneuvering difficult, and the gravity reduces the TWR of all engines below 1. One can attempt to place edited parts on the surface, but they bounce erratically at a few hundred to a few thousand m/s if they do not explode.
• While Kerbol can be reached from Kerbin's orbit by using a Hohmann transfer orbit, a spacecraft doing so will require a ΔV of about 8 km/s to do so. The most efficient way to reach Kerbol from Kerbin's orbit is to use a bi-elliptic transfer. With a sufficiently-distant apoapsis, the required ΔV to sundive can be reduced to under 4 km/s, at the expense of drastically-increased flight time.
• The name “Kerbol” was created by forum members and never appears in the game. Officially, the star is simply referred to as “the Sun”, though the lead developer did mention that the name could change once the need to differentiate it from other stars arises.
• Kerbol's Sphere of Influence is infinite, which makes it impossible to escape its orbit and achieve gravitation-free flight.
• Once the sun apoapsis reaches a certain point, it will always say it takes 68 years to reach. This is because times in Kerbal Space Program are limited to 2³²-1 seconds as a consequence of how numbers are handled.
