Minmus is a small moon of Kerbin, and only available in version 0.15 and higher. From the surface of Kerbin, it is a purple speck. Up close, it is gray-green in appearance with what seem to be icy buttes, large hills, and frozen lakes. The tallest mountains are likely 3000+ m high. It is possible to land on Minmus.

Characteristics

Note, this Stationary orbit cannot actually be achieved, as any satellite or vessel attempting to achieve this orbit will be re-captured by Kerbin.
