Tylo/zh-cn
Tylo是Jool的第三颗卫星。它是Jool五颗卫星中最大的一个，也是Kerbol星系中最大的卫星，也是不含大气层体积最大的天体。它就是Kerbal太空计划中的木卫三 “伽倪墨得斯”。
登陆Tylo极富挑战性。它的重力与Kerbin相当，却无法进行大气制动，因为这里没有大气层。然而，由于它巨大的引力范围，Tylo是很好的重力加速的目标，可以帮助我们以最小的燃料进入和离开Jool行星系统。
飞船近距离绕Tylo飞行的轨道周期大约为29分钟，速度为2,170 m/s。和其他Jool大型卫星类似，Tylo被Jool潮汐锁定。Tylo不存在同步轨道，理论轨道半径14,758,067米，已位于其SOI之外。
Topography
Tylo has a rocky surface. It has a varying elevation between 0 meters (Tylo baseline height) and peaks of more than 11290 meters.
Tylo's surface looks similar to that of Mün, but has much fewer impact craters (especially on the side facing away from Jool) and is more uneven.
Due to the coloring of the surface of Tylo, it is likely that it is covered in a rhyolite layer of rock, nickel, a little cobalt, some sort of ice and dust, spread by meteorite impacts. Although very large in comparison to other moons, it is unlikely that it is a captured planet. For a planet of this size, Jool would have to be much larger and denser to produce a large and strong enough gravitational well. It is a mystery why Tylo hasn't formed an atmosphere.
Because of it's high gravity and lack of an atmosphere, Tylo is very hard to land on and reach orbit from. However, low altitude orbits at high speeds can be achieved for these same reasons.

Trivia
Kerbin has the same equatorial radius as Tylo (600,000m) yet Tylo's surface gravity is much lower than Kerbin. This is most likely because Tylo is composed of low density matter.
There are two known Easter eggs on Tylo. One is Carl Sagan's face on a mountain and the other is a cave-like underground formation.
