Minmus is a small moon of Kerbin, and only available in version 0.15 and higher. From the surface of Kerbin, it is a purple speck. Up close, it is gray-green in appearance with what seem to be icy buttes, large hills, and frozen lakes. The tallest mountains are likely 3000+ m high. It is possible to land on Minmus.
Characteristics
- Equatorial Radius: 60 km
- Mass: 4.234e19 kg
- Density: 46.79 g/cm^3
- Surface Gravity: 0.785 m/s^2 or 0.080 g
- Gravitational parameter: 2.825505 km^3/s^2[[1]]
- Escape velocity from surface: 306.89 m/s
- Rotation Period: ? hours; Rotation: ? degrees per hour, or ~0.35 m/s (believed to be tidally locked to Kerbin)
- Theoretical(?) Synchronous Orbit altitude: ? m; Stationary Orbit velocity: ? m/s
Note, this Stationary orbit cannot actually be achieved, as any satellite or vessel attempting to achieve this orbit will be re-captured by Kerbin.
Orbital Characteristics
- Semi-Major Axis: 46400 km
- Velocity: 274.1 m/s
- Inclination: 6°?
- Orbital Period: 12 days, 11 hours, 16 minutes, 19 seconds
- Sphere of influence: ~ 2,713 km or 45 body radii
