Minmus as seen from orbit

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 highest areas are over 5.7km in altitude. 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.
