A Kerbal's Guide to our solar system

[SunJumper]

A Sedna - like object. 1000km diameter. 1,033,470,000,000m X 12,681,360,000,000m orbit. Rare launch windows. For the pros - or the patient. I am currently testing this.

Edit: Using a Trans-Sedna injecton, the game renders your orbit very linearly. I also estimate the time of the injection to be 3 days and 7 hours approx. with 10,000X time warp. With 1,000,000x, 47 minutes and 29 seconds. 28 seconds with 100,000,000x.

I suggest a planet with a diameter of 13,200KM.

With a gravity of about 9.8m/s.^2

And it looks like Earth...

Oh what the hell. It\'s Earth.

[Twinky827]

... I just realized something. With the observatory, there will probably be many different planets, made to randomly spawn, each (Almost) unique to it\'s game. Same for the stars

[cardgame]

A moon 90% the size of Kerbin? ???

[SunJumper]

This has probably been said already, but no other planet can be stable anywhere in Kerbin\'s orbit. Think of it as this, both objects in the orbit are stationary compared with each other, so they will easily pull each other together, into a final elliptical orbit that further causes chaos...

Not exactly.

Small bodies could exist in the L4 and L5 points (I KNOW that KSP doesn\'t simulate them ). In reality, there are two clumps of asteroids in these positions along the orbit of Jupiter, and also faint clouds of dust associated with Earth Lagrange points if I remeber well...

[Bioman222]

I\'m gonna try and make a map of this, even though Nova already did.

[Bioman222]

I made a map of Nova\'s system, even though he already made one. 8)

Yes, it sucks, oh well. :

Yes, SMALL bodies. Not Ceres bodies, asteroids. Harvest is a ceres-like world, and it would most likely impact Kerbin or be flung to Kla Kentauri.

[simplemunrockets]

One problem I have with people saying there should be many moons is the difficulty of performing a Trans-Kerbin Injection. Okay, almost got it... STUPID MOONS!

[thorfinn]

OK, guys, what's with the censoring of "***" in "***ociated"? :D

Reminds me of this quote from bash org...

Also, the "advanced editor" isn't advanced in the slightest, it's just a text box with no commands. What's with this new forum?

I guess you're right; I'm no expert in this kind of highly non-linear problems, so I don't know where the hard limit to stability would lie.

So This IS The Kerbol System?

[ElectroxSoldier]

I like the system, but it seems too fictional.

Now that you're part of the Dev Team I can only expect this though xD. I still like it though, but less magical and fantasy in it if possible!

[Rainbow Dash]

so far from what i have seen, this is what the planets are based off of

[cocomoe1002]

Were is Murs?

[EvilotionCR2]

Because Nova IS working on new planets it must be official.

This is KSP. Nothing (except Donught Planets) is too silly or fictional.

[123kde]

my only question is how would one get to these planets? i mean, its hard enough to control where you go in the solar system once you leave the gravitational influence of kerbin. dont get me wrong, i LOVE the idea.

[Where'syourWaldo]

Are the minor moons (of Meander) being implemented in 0.17?

[Pedonymous]

Really disappointing to see that some of these ideas haven't come to fruition. There's too many plain rocks in the solar system right now.

[Felsmak]

This is quite a nostalgia trip.

[swiftgates24]

I've had this under my bookmarks for months, there is no need to necro it, just simply bookmark/favorite/whatever for future look-seeing too

[Felsmak]

It was already necro'd.

[Holo]

I hope some kind of procedural generation is added so I can see Meander/Jool's 20+ minor moons. Right now there's only 2.

[czokletmuss]

Hmm, I've never noticed this thread. It may be quite useful for my AARs
