Planet Name: Telarus

Planet Parent (The body the planet is orbiting): Kerbol

Planet Type: Rocky

Planet's orbital characteristics: Same as Kerbin, but opposite phase. Always on the other side of the sun.

Planet's diameter: 2/3 kerbin

Planet's gravity (in cm/s2): IDK

Planet's atmosphere: half kerbins

Planet's average temperature: somewhat cold

Planet's average polar temperature: real cold

Planet's landscape description: barren, but with some liquid water, lichen on the land, and a flourishing population of cephalopods in the ocean.

Maps/Photos (Optional):

Description: It's like a sister planet to Kerbin where things didn't turn out quite right for a fully developed biosphere

What would you do on the planet?: Learn about how life could have evolved under different circumstances

Lander/Plane Designs for planet (Optional): light rover, or a submarine for researching the life in the ocean.

Planet Name: Murk

Planet Parent (The body the planet is orbiting): Jool

Planet Type: Moonlet/Captured Asteroid

Planet's orbital characteristics: Elliptical orbit around Jool brings it in close, and then flings it out for a far distance.

Planet's diameter: Hard to tell.

Planet's gravity (in cm/s2): 0.2m/s

Planet's atmosphere: None

Planet's average temperature: N/A

Planet's average polar temperature: N/A

Planet's landscape description: Covered in sulfur and a few large craters

Maps/Photos (Optional):

Description: Murk is a captured asteroid that orbits too close to Jool. The tidal forces from Jool's gravity stetch and pull the moon and make it volcanically active.

What would you do on the planet?: Possibly send a small probe to attempt to land on the teeny rock.

Lander/Plane Designs for planet (Optional): (Not Yet)

Planet Name: Desilius

Planet Parent : Kerbol

Planet Type: A rocky planet similar to our desert planet

Planet's orbital characteristics: It has an elliptical orbit that can get as close as Eve, but as far as the desert planet.

Planet's diameter: Smaller than the desert planet

Planet's gravity (in cm/s2): Stronger than the Mun's but only a little bit

Planet's atmosphere: Thin

Planet's average temperature: When closer to Kerbol: 140"C. When further from Kerbol: 15"C

Planet's average polar temperature: Closer to Kerbol: -20"C Further from Kerbol: -70"C

Planet's landscape description: It has some smooth terrain near the Poles but it gets hit by meteors and asteroids often near the equator. The Polar caps are small in size and take about 1/10 of the planet.

Maps/Photos (Optional):

Description:

What would you do on the planet?: Land and see how the elliptical orbit makes the poles different and how Kerbol could look like from really close and really far in a not so long time.
