Solar Science dream


Recommended Posts

Just figured I'd voice a hope for KSP2.

I hope they include something to measure the solar wind from the various sun in the new multi-system game. AND that they include the effects of CME (coronal mass ejections) to satellite communications. It'd be great to analyse the solar activities with equipment and find out what weird long cycle the programmers added to the various solar bodies. Our Sun has an ~11yr cycle between low/high activity.

I'd be cool to find out that some solar bodies have a pattern of 21 years of "stupid-high" CMEs that make communication severely degraded around the immediate system. That way it wouldn't be just the celestial bodies (planets / moons) that get all the attention from those plucky Kerbals.

The 'fun' part of all of this is none of the data is documented. It's just as something to discover if people want to investigate that dataset.
