What altitude is geostationary orbit KSP?
What altitude is geostationary orbit KSP?
Orbital altitudes and semi-major axes of Kerbal’s major bodies
Body | Synchronous orbit | Tidally locked |
---|---|---|
Altitude | ||
Kerbin | 2 863.33 km | No |
Mun | 2 970.56 km † | Yes |
Minmus | 357.94 km | No |
What altitude is low Mun orbit?
Due to their size they can be spotted easily from a low (<10 km) orbit near the equator.
What height is Duna’s atmosphere?
50,000 m.
Duna’s atmosphere begins at 50,000 m. It is only 20% as dense as Kerbin’s at altitude 0 and is even less dense (relative to Kerbin) at higher altitudes.

Why do Russians prefer highly elliptical orbit than geostationary orbit?
Highly elliptical orbits provide an alternative to geostationary ones, as they remain over their desired high-latitude regions for long periods of time at the apogee. Despite these advantages the Tundra orbit is used less often than a Molniya orbit in part due to the higher launch energy required.
What is Keostationary orbit KSP?
From Kerbal Space Program Wiki. Kerbisynchronous Equatorial Orbit (or KEO for short) is the stationary orbit of the planet Kerbin, a very useful orbit for satellites. A spacecraft on this orbit will appear stationary when viewed from the surface.
What is the lowest possible Mun orbit?
7061 metres.
How close can you orbit the Mun KSP?
A normal 25 km orbit can be achieved using around 800 m/s delta V. A semi-synchronous orbit with half the rotation period of the Mun is possible at approximately 1797.41 kilometers.
How much delta v Do you need to get to Duna and back?
With proper aerobraking, a round trip from Kerbin to Duna’s orbit and back requires roughly 1700 m/s of delta-v, less than a round trip to any other planet. Duna is often the easiest planet to encounter because its orbital inclination is low.
Is there life on Duna?
It is believed, if a Kerbal gets lucky, they may find evidence of life on Duna.
How do you encounter Minmus?
Hohmann transfer to Minmus:
- Make a maneuver node anywhere and drag the yellow prograde marker until your projected trajectory gets close to the Minmus orbit.
- Grab that maneuver node (left mouse drag) and move it around until you get a Minmus encounter.
- Feel free to repeat 5 and 6 a couple of times to refine.
How long does it take to go to Minmus?

Sidereal orbital period | 1 077 311 s |

Orbital velocity | 274 m/s |
Which is higher, Mun or minmus in altitude?
Minmus. The highest areas are over 5.7 km in altitude. It requires somewhat more delta-v to reach Minmus orbit than Mun orbit; however, given its very small gravity, it requires much less to land on the surface and return. This makes Minmus a primary source of Science in the early game after achieving an orbit of Kerbin.
Is the planet minmus in orbit or in orbit?
The various “Flats” are almost perfectly flat and believed to have once been the site of liquid lakes. Minmus also has some mesas, one of which is near Minmus’s north pole, that are so high compared to Minmus’ sphere of influence that they count as “in orbit” according to the navigation tools.
What is the altitude of a geosynchronous orbit?
NASA’s webpage lists the altitude of geosynchronous orbit as 22,300 miles which is roughly 35,900 km.
How long does it take for minmus to orbit Kerbin?
Orbital characteristics Minmus orbits Kerbin at a continuous altitude of 46,400,000 meters and takes approximately 920 m/s Δv to transfer to from low Kerbin orbit. The synodic period from Kerbin’s surface is 14 days, 3 hours and 1 second (1,220,401 seconds). A synchronous orbit around Minmus is possible at an altitude of 357.94 km.
