Nem - Binary Companion for Eve (All ingame screenshots were taken with Astronomer's Visual Pack, Scatterer and Parallax enabled.) - SUMMARY - A new binary planet companion for Eve, Nem is a volcanically active desert world with sweltering temperatures, massive volcanoes, deep canyons, and an oxygenated atmosphere. We don't know precisely how it's able to maintain this atmospheric oxygen. Some say the planet is actually hiding complex life, but this couldn't possibly be true. How could such a hostile world possibly sustain life? Regardless of its habitability, Nem represents a unique opportunity for our interplanetary SSTO program. Because of its low gravity, reasonably dense atmosphere and oxygen, Nem is ideally suited for an SSTO mission- especially if ISRU technology can be utilized. Ascent with a traditional lander, meanwhile, may prove difficult- as its aerodynamic properties will matter far more than a similar mission to Duna. At least your parachutes will work great! - FEATURES - Nem has an extensive feature set, including full science logs for almost every relevant stock science experiment, spanning each of its 16 biomes. This also includes full science logs for every usable DMagic Orbital Science experiment! For realism, it moves Gilly into orbit of Nem, as its previous orbit would've been unstable. However, as its hill sphere would be too small to be reasonably playable if Principia is installed, it will instead put Gilly at Eve's L5 lagrange point if that mod is enabled. Eve's rotation period is also modified to tidally lock it to Nem. If Alternis Kerbol Rekerjiggered is enabled, the mod will not touch Gilly/Gillian's Comet, and otherwise supports Alternis Eve just fine. (Though enabling Alternis Eve's rings is a tad unrealistic.) It includes custom Parallax surface textures, and even custom-modeled surface scatters- which can be installed optionally. The mod includes its own basic EVE clouds and supports Blackrack's beta Raymarched Volumetric Clouds, but if you have Astronomer's Visual Pack installed, it will hook into the mod and use your AVP install to generate its own clouds and auroras. It also supports SigmaDimensions. This functionality is now dynamic, meaning it will adjust Nem's HazardousBody setup and Eve's rotation period according to whatever configuration your SigmaDimensions install is running. - DELTA-V MAP - - SCREENSHOTS - (Spoilers!) - MOD COMPATIBILITY - Nem supports (but does not require): Astronomer's Visual Pack Community Resource Pack Environmental Visual Enhancements (Supports Raymarched Volumetric Clouds and old-style clouds) Parallax/Parallax_StockTextures Scatterer Distant Object Enhancement PlanetShine Principia ResearchBodies Alternis Kerbol Rekerjiggered DMagic Orbital Science Tarsier Space Technology (ChemCam and Telescope) SigmaDimensions - DOWNLOAD - Requires Kopernicus!

I am continuing the mod, again. Most of the team quit and started a new mod. I'm not bashing anyone, okay? Below is the DD post, will be updated quite a bit. I miss @SamBelanger Logo!

Hello KSP players, here is an interesting mod that adds several star systems, some of which are binary pairs. You may find it unrealistic, but what isn't so in KSP?

I was watching the KSP2 IGN interview, and they were showing the pre-alpa footage of KSP2, and I noticed this. You see it yet? Well, let me show you. I don't know what this could be. Maybe I'm just wrong and it is part of the visual effects. But I have seen it in other places too, so can somebody explain to me what this is?

Planets: Gameplay: The planets and stars of Alpha Centauri are all sized to their real life counterparts. Only three of the bodies (Kelvin, Von Braun, and Armstrong) are known to exist in reality, a great deal of artistic license has been used with the others. The entire system is stable in N-body simulations upwards of 1500 Earth years. In the interest of my sanity in writing the configs I did not call the planets Ab, Ac. I have named them after popular explorers, scientists and physicists that led to the exploration of the stars. As the Pale Red Dot and ESA have released their preliminary findings I have modeled Von Braun and Armstrong to conform to the findings. New in version 0.8: CLOUDS! Extract the boulderCo folder into your Gamedata folder and download Environmental Visual Enhancements from here to use the clouds. To read about the planets and their creation check out this discussion thread FAQS: Where's Kerbin? Gone. This mod is much like RSS in that it replaces the stock system with one a lot closer to reality. Do I need Realism Overhaul? Short Answer: Yes. Long Answer: This mod will function without it, but for the sake of your sanity you will want a mod to adjust fuels and engines to a realistic scale as stock engines are severely under powered in real scale. See the suggested mods section for more info on those. Will updating this mod break my saves? More than likely, yes. It is always best to stick with one version of a mod instead of updating it in between game sessions.

This is a mod that makes a binary asteroid system near Dres' orbit out of Pol and Bop. (Obviously not compatible with a Jool V save.) They orbit each other at a realistic speed too! Download

Say you have two planets orbiting each other, one of them slightly smaller than the other. Is it possible for a moon to orbit in a figure-eight pattern around and between the two planets? Would this system even be stable?

I made Kerbin and the other planets orbit a binary star system. I plan to turn this into a more in depth mod. This is when the orange one is closer: And this is when the Yellow one is closer:
