KSP 2 Discoverables - Kerbal Space Program Wiki (2024)

In Kerbal Space Program 2, there are discoverables that add to the environment and story of the game. They are KSP 2's version of the Easter Eggs found in Kerbal Space Program 1. All of these discoverables were intentionally placed into the game and have their own unique biomes with special science points available.

Lore

Some discoverables play into a story that the developers of KSP 2 want to create. We don't know much about the ancient Kraken predecessors of Kerbalkind other than what is given through the discoverables and mission dialogue.

FAQs

What is the hardest planet to return from in KSP? ›

Moho is the closest planet to Kerbol, making it the first out of the current seven planets. You should not attempt this mission if you haven't done a mission returning from Gilly, Laythe, Tylo, Vall, Eeloo, or Eve, as Moho is the hardest planet to return from, except maybe Eve, Eeloo, Laythe, or a Jool Landing.

Is KSP realistic? ›

Physics. While the game is not a perfect simulation of reality, it has been praised for its largely accurate orbital mechanics; all objects in the game except the celestial bodies are simulated using Newtonian dynamics.

How much delta V to get to orbit in KSP? ›

Assumption: It takes roughly 2500 m/s of Δv to escape Kerbin's atmosphere before vacuum Δv values take over for the stage powering the transition (actual value ranges between 2000 m/s and 3400 m/s depending on ascent). Note that, as of KSP 1.3. 1, around 3800 m/s of Δv is required to reach an 80km orbit from the KSC.

How many hours is a Kerbal day? ›

Kerbin calendar

A solar Kerbin day is 6 hours long, the Mun has an orbital period of 38.6 hours which defines a Kerbin month, and Kerbin has an orbital period of 2556.5 hours which defines a Kerbin year.

Do any KSP planets have rings? ›

Voon is known as the 6th and largest planet around Kerbol. It is one of the 2 gas giants in the Kerbol System and the only planet with a well-defined ring system.

Which planet is the easiest to land on in KSP? ›

Duna has several craters. They appear quite eroded, presumably by the wind of the (small) atmosphere. Several maria (large regions of dark soil) are around several hundred meters altitude. Their low altitude allows for more aerobraking, and the flatness of the terrain makes them easy but boring landing locations.

How big is Kerbin compared to Earth? ›

Real-world comparison

Kerbin has approximately one-tenth the radius of Earth and 1/113th the mass.

What is the lifespan of a Kerbal in KSP? ›

In the game, the average life expectancy for kerbals is 300 years (aging is four times slower than in real life, even though time progresses the same).

How is KSP used in real life? ›

The chemistry Ksp value reflects how much of a solute will dissolve in solution, and the more soluble a material is, the higher the chemical Ksp value for that substance. The salting out of soap is one of the most important applications for the Solubility product.

Can you orbit the moon in KSP? ›

Once you have gotten into the Mun's SOI, warp to periapsis, turn towards the retrograde vector on the Navball, and activate the engine (Z key). You can cut the engine once you enter a circular orbit around the Mun. Quicksave the game and name it "Mun Orbit".

What is the fastest spaceplane in KSP? ›

The fastest known plane demonstrated, in version 0.23, a top speed of about 2377 m/s relative to Kerbin's surface — just short of Mach 7. At this speed it is possible to circumnavigate Kerbin in about 29 minutes at an altitude of 40 km.

What is the lowest possible Kerbin orbit in KSP? ›

Low Kerbin orbit (LKO)

The lowest point of an LKO must not be lower than 70 km in order to stay clear of atmospheric drag. The altitude of a LKO typically does not exceed about 200 km.

How tall is a Kerbal in feet? ›

Kerbals are the native denizens of the planet Kerbin, and cartoonish in-game analogs for humankind. Kerbals display no variance in height or weight. They stand roughly 0.75 meters tall (2'5½").

How old is KSP 1? ›

KSP 1 released in 2011 as a barebones tech demo with almost none of the features currently in KSP 2. It was basically just getting a simple rocket to orbit. No space planes.

How big is a kerbol? ›

Kerbol
Equatorial circumference1 643 681 276 m
Surface area8.5997404×1017 m2
Mass1.7565459×1028 kg
Standard gravitational parameter1.1723328×1018 m3/s2

What is the hardest landing in KSP? ›

What is the hardest planet to land on?
  • Moho is the hardest to get to.
  • Tylo is the hardest to land on.
  • Eve is the hardest to return from.

What is the hardest planet to get to? ›

Surprisingly, despite being much closer to Earth than Jupiter and Saturn, Mercury is actually more difficult to reach. According to some estimates, it would take less energy to get to the dwarf planet Pluto than it takes to get to Mercury.

What is the farthest planet in KSP? ›

Eeloo is a dwarf planet that was released in Template:Version as a Christmas gift to the KSP community. It is the seventh and farthest planet from Kerbol most of the time, though its orbit intersects Jool's, passing in front of it for a minority of its revolution period.

What is the most efficient descent in KSP? ›

The spacecraft burns slightly anti-radial (towards the ground) of retrograde, keeping its altitude constant. This trajectory can be more efficient than a gravity turn or direct descent because the entire burn is done as close to the surface as possible, taking full advantage of the Oberth effect.
