Donk

Pre-alpha image showing donk

Donk is one of the moons of Gurdamma. Donk appears to be an airless moon with a heavily cratered surface. It also appears to be a somewhat large moon due to how round it is and the relatively small size of its craters. Donk is an exomoon in the Debdeb system and will be added to Kerbal Space Program 2 in the Interstellar Update.

Origins

Donk likely originated after an impact between Gurdamma and another planet in the Deb Deb System.

Orbit and resemblance to Earth's Moon

Donk has been referred to as an analog to Earth's own moon shortly after formation. Donk orbits within Gurdamma's rings, as both formed from the debris of the same impact. Dark regions that resemble Lunar maria exist, similar to Earth's Moon.

“

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! We are still making adjustments to the distance of Gurdamma's moon, but it'll still be both close and fast-orbiting (and Gurdamma has a very short day).'' — Nate simpson
