![]() ![]() The air, however, does have a strange smell about it. According to EVA reports, the air can be breathed by Kerbals. Surface samples indicate that much salt is present on Laythe's surface. This means Laythe's oceans must contain another compound which reduces its freezing point, most likely ionic, such as salt. Instead, Laythe's liquid ocean and dense atmosphere invite comparison with the Saturnian moon Titan, but Laythe is 3 times warmer in absolute temperature.Īlthough Laythe has liquid water on its surface, its polar regions have temperatures below zero degrees Celsius even outside its ice caps. But while Tylo and Vall have a certain resemblance to their real-life counterparts, Laythe is very unlike Io, which is dry, volcanic, and only has a tenuous atmosphere. In the real-world Jupiter system, the moons Ganymede, Europa and Io form a group with an orbital resonance just like KSP's Tylo, Vall and Laythe. A circular archipelago prominent in surface maps of the moon suggests that Laythe suffered a massive impact in its distant past.Īchieving a stable orbit around Laythe from sea level requires a delta-V of ≈2900 m/s. ![]() Synchronous orbits around Laythe are not possible, as they would lie outside of its SOI, at a radius of 5,186,399 meters. Although mostly covered in seas, Laythe has numerous rocky, sandy islands. Laythe is the innermost of the five natural satellites of Jool. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 The distances are given from the body's center, not from the surface (unlike ingame). ![]()
