Kerbin är Kerbal Space Programs analog av människornas planet jorden. Planeten Kerbin är hemplaneten till de gröna varelserna Kerbals. Det är även denna planet som står i centrum i spelet - Kerbal Space Center ligger nämligen där. Kerbin har två månar: den ena med namnet Mün, som också är den största och närmaste liggande till Kerbin. Den andre månen heter Minmus, den är minst och ligger längst bort från Kerbin räknat.
Kerbin är den tredje planeten i omloppsbana räknat runt stjärnan Kerbol. Kerbin är den tredje största planeten (efter Jool och Eve). Den är också den fjärde största himlakroppen runt Kerbol.
Att lyckas komma upp i omloppsbana runt Kerbin är något av de första milstolparna en spelare brukar uppnå. Att lyckas skapa en sådan omloppsbana med optimalt bränsleanvändande uppskjutning[1] kräver en delta-V på ≈4500 m/s, [2] vilket är den andra största delta-V-förändringen i spelet efter Eve. För många interplanetariska uppdrag uppgör denna delta-V-kostnad hälften av uppdragets totala delta-V-kapacitet. Detta stämmer även med riktiga rymdresor på jorden, vilket har gett oss citatet:

Topografi
Kerbin har en ganska jämlik spridning av flytande vatten och land, med polarisregioner och spridda öknar. Det finns berg som stiger upp till 6 km över havet, där det högsta berget är 6767 meter över havet. Den lägsta punkten ligger nästan 1.4 kilometer under havsytan.
Kerbin shows signs of having been impacted by an asteroid or comet. That is visible in the large crater in the western hemisphere. The crater's central peak is visible from orbit and was caused by the compression followed by the rebound of material in the center of the crater.
Atmosfär
Kerbin's atmosphere contains oxygen and extends to roughly 69,078 meters. Its atmosphere becomes exponentially less dense as altitude increases (with a scale height of 5 km).[3] In general, the atmospheric pressure on Kerbin, at an altitude expressed in meters, is:
The following table gives approximation of terminal velocities at different Kerbin altitudes. These are also the velocities at which a ship should travel for a fuel-optimal ascent from Kerbin, given the game's model of atmospheric drag (0.18.1).[4]
Altitude (m) | Velocity (m/s) |
---|---|
0 | 97.3 |
1000 | 110 |
3000 | 130 |
5000 | 160 |
8000 | 215 |
10000 | 260 |
15000 | 425 |

Omloppsbanor
Geosynchronous orbit is achieved at an altitude of 2 863,33 km (1008.9 m/s). From a 70 km low equatorial orbit, the periapsis maneuver requires 676.5 m/s and the apoapsis maneuver requires 434.9 m/s. A semi-synchronous orbit with an orbital period of 1/2 of Kerbin's rotation period (3 hours or 10800 seconds) is achieved at an altitude of 1 581,76 km with an orbital velocity of 1 272,28 m/s.
Interplanetära Resor
From the lowest stable orbit around Kerbin (70 km), the amount of delta-V needed to reach the orbits of other celestials is as follows:
Body | Delta-V | |
---|---|---|
Mün | ~860 m/s | |
Minmus | ~930 m/s | |
Eve | ~1033 m/s | |
Duna | ~1060 m/s | |
Moho | ~1676 m/s | |
Jool | ~1915 m/s | |
Eeloo | ~2100 m/s | |
KEO (comparison) | ~1120 m/s |

Ändringar
- Terrain overhaul: Entire planet redo. Deserts, darker and greener grass, islands, darker ocean/water, snow capped mountains. Looks more realistic.
- Several Easter Eggs added.
- Airport added to island off of KSC coastline. (Not a launching point)
- Improved atmosphere visuals.
- Minmus added.
- Much more varied and taller terrain added. Prior to this, some mountain ranges exceeded 600 m in height, but the tallest point was at an altitude of approximately 900 m.
- Mün added.
- Terrain overhaul, oceans became wet.
- Atmosphere extended from ~34,500 m to ~69,000 m.
- Initial Release
