The Mun (or Mün) is a large moon orbiting Kerbin, it can be thought of as an analogue to our own Moon. It is gray in appearance with craters of various sizes and mountains exceeding 3400 m in height; its terrain shows signs of water erosion. It is possible to land on the Mun or use it for gravitational slingshots to outer bodies such as Minmus or into Kerbol orbit.

There are anomalous geological formations called Mun Arches and Monoliths (also known as munoliths) can be found on the surface of the Mun. To preserve the enjoyment of exploration for new players, those who have found these sites are encouraged to keep their exact coordinates secret.

Synchronous orbit around the Mun is not possible, since it would have to occur at an altitude of 0,00 m, beyond the Mun's sphere of influence. However, putting your spacecraft just outside Mun's SOI and having the same SMA would make it appear stationary.

Trivia

  • Prior to wersji 0.14.2 (and thus in the demo as well), the tallest points on the munar surface are no higher than roughly 600m.
  • Mun was Kerbins, and indeed the games, very first moon.
