Lowest orbit possible around the moons?

[TheScareCake!]

Hello everybody, can anybody post a list of lowest orbits around the moons possible without crashing my rocket into the ground? Thank you.

I´ve put a science station thingamabob at 10 km around the Mun equator and hasn´t crashed... yet.

Well, The highest point on minmus is about 5.4Km up, so you could possibly manage it at that altitiude, whereas mun's highest point is about 7Km up, on a mountainous area near the equator. That said, I routinely put things into orbit at ~6Km over minmus, and 10Km over mun, So I know that those altitudes are perfectly safe, over the equator at least.

My "slingshot II" mun lander is in orbit around the mun right now with a periapsis of 6000 metters, but still, i want to go lower

The highest point on Mun is 7061 meters. The highest point on Minmus is 5725 meters. Any orbit with a periapsis higher than this is stable.

However, depending on your inclination, you might be able to go even lower.

Recently started a new career game and did a free return around the Mün. Actually, I did it twice. First time, Pe was 5km and that was obviously too low....

At KSP wiki they mention for each planet the highest altitude check them out

Here are all of the highest points on each airless body:

Mun: 7061m

Minmus: 5725m

Ike: 12750m

Gilly: 6400m

Moho: 6817m

Dres: 5700m

Vall: 7976m

Tylo: 11290m

Bop: 21755m (!)

Pol: 5590m

Eeloo: 3900m

Disclaimer: the Kerbal Board of Insane Stunts and Taxidermy takes no responsibility for ships that smear themselves on the ground by flying at these exact elevations, failing to account for the fact that their own ship possesses a not-unreasonable amount of girth itself. Suggested minimum distance to maintain above these elevations is 100m.
