Moho

Moho is the innermost planet of the Kerbol star system. It is the smallest planet, although it is not the smallest celestial body. It is the only planet known to be tidally locked to Kerbol and the only planet with no natural satellites.

Due to its close proximity to Kerbol, the atmosphere, while thin, is debilitatingly hot. Rockets overheat easily, making a high thrust-to-weight ratio and/or a heat-resistant rocket design necessary for a safe landing.

Topography

Topographical image of Moho.

The surface is very mountainous, with surprisingly few craters. The crust almost looks fractured. Up close it is much redder than in the map view and has many white dots. There are two volcanoes (Shown as red circles in the topographic map) on Moho.

Atmosphere

Moho has no atmosphere

During dawn and dusk, Moho's sky is bluer than its normal red color.

Orbital Statistics

Geosynchronous orbit around Moho is not possible — it would require an altitude of 0.00 m, outside of Moho's sphere of influence.

For a semisynchronous orbit of ½ Moho day (307.75 hours or 1,107,882 seconds) an orbit of 0.00 m above Moho is needed with a velocity of 0.00 m/s.
