Gilly is a tiny asteroid and the only natural satellite of Eve.
As of update .17, Gilly's surface is buggy and dangerous to land on, most likely due to the Kraken (or a bad collision mesh). Kerbonauts land at their own risk.
Characteristics
- Equatorial Radius: 13000m
- Minimum Elevation: ... m
- Maximum Elevation: ... m
- Mass: 1.242E+017 kg
- Density: 13496.5 kg/cm³
- Surface Gravity: 0.05 m/s² or 0.005g
- Gravitational parameter: ... km³/s²
- Escape velocity from surface: ~28 m/s
- Rotation Period: 7.85 hours; Rotation: 45.86 degrees per hour, or 2.9 m/s
- Synchronous Orbit altitude: 50 083.198 km; Stationary Orbit velocity: ~12.4 m/s
The radius of the geosynchronous orbit of Gilly is greater then its orbit of Eve. Therefore geosynchronous orbit of Gilly is not possible.
