What is inside an asteroid?!

[SpaceOdissey]

Just a short time ago I've discovered with the tracking station an asteroid of class A and I've sent an mission to grab the asteroid and something very strange happened... When I grab the asteroid I've wanted to take an screenshot for my desktop when I've saw a cube inside it

If someone want the mystery images, please can someone teach me how to put a image on this forum? Please put below on comments

uoload image to imgur. Copy address link and paste. AFAIK albums will not post as picture but just links.

AFAIK, every asteroids have a cube within them. My guess is that it's the "true" asteroid, the one on which the forces are applied.

aren't they just a really large ore tank? it's 90% made of ore

[hms_warrior]

no matter what they are made of, it is less dense than water. I deorbited a C class asteroid, missed the target and splashed down in water....it floats just well.

There is the cube, and as you switch craft or load, you often land with the camera inside the asteroid, which was quite confusing before the cube as all you'd see is space and wonder where is everything. Now see cube: aha! Inside asteroid! Need to zoom out!

@omelaw: but you can't rightclick it and transfer ore to a tank or just start ISRU - you need a drill. Asteroid is a 'ship part', not a celestial body, but it's one on its own right.

MODULE
{
	name = ModuleAsteroid	
	density = 0.03
	secondaryRate = 0.05
}

DRAG_CUBE
{
	procedural = True
}

MODULE
{
	name = ModuleAsteroidInfo
}

MODULE
{
	name = ModuleAsteroidResource
	highRange = 95
	lowRange = 50
	presenceChance = 100
	resourceName = Ore
}

Oh wow. So in asteroids I've can configure the .cfg and do any think I've want

Yep.

This one qualifies as Class J or K I think...

Nope, it won't budge. But I hauled a class G into Kerbin orbit not long ago.

Woah.... 3 million tons?  Are you using a mod to make them that large?

Just a ModuleManager patch.

hmmmm, interesting. So the size and weight can be changed? I did not know that...

Asteroid cores are known to be mostly fudge. The variety of vanilla, rum raisin, and many more is what drives kerbals to bring them in as additional moons
