Kerbol System

The Kerbol System, often referred to as the Kerbin System or Kerbal Solar System, is the fictional planetary system featured in Kerbal Space Program. It is centered around the star Kerbol (also known as the Sun) and contains a variety of celestial bodies, each offering unique challenges and opportunities for exploration and mission planning. The system includes:

Kerbol (the Sun): The central star of the system, providing gravity and light to all the surrounding planets and moons.

Moho: The closest planet to Kerbol, with a hot, rocky surface and no atmosphere. It’s challenging to reach due to its high orbital speed.

Eve: A purple, Venus-like planet with a dense atmosphere and high gravity, making it one of the most difficult planets to land on and return from.

Kerbin: The home planet of the Kerbals, featuring a breathable atmosphere, oceans, and a variety of biomes. It has two natural satellites:

Mun: A gray, barren moon, similar to Earth’s moon.
Minmus: A small, icy moon with low gravity and smooth surfaces.
Duna: A red planet with a thin atmosphere, similar to Mars. Duna has one large moon:

Ike: A gray, heavily cratered moon, locked in close orbit around Duna.
Dres: A small, rocky dwarf planet with a noticeable equatorial canyon and no natural satellites.

Jool: A massive green gas giant with a thick atmosphere and five moons:

Laythe: An oceanic moon with an atmosphere, resembling an Earth-like environment.
Vall: An icy moon with a smooth surface.
Tylo: A large, rocky moon with no atmosphere, known for its high gravity.
Bop: An irregularly shaped, small moon with low gravity.
Pol: A small, inclined moon with a bumpy surface.
Eeloo: A distant dwarf planet, often compared to Pluto. Its eccentric orbit sometimes brings it close to Jool.

The Kerbol System is designed to be a simplified model of our own Solar System, with each planet and moon offering unique challenges for players to test their engineering and piloting skills.
