Minmus

Minmus is a small moon of Kerbin, and only available in versions 0.15 and higher. From the surface of Kerbin or Mun, it is a purple speck which appears to slightly oscillate vertically. This is a result of viewing its rotation from afar. Up close, it is mint green in appearance with what seem to be icy buttes, large hills, and frozen lakes. The tallest mountains are likely 3KM+ high. It is possible to land on Minmus.with craft built in the Vehicle Assembly Building.

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)

• Axial Tilt/Obliquity: ?°

• 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.
