Moon Proposal - Farengeto - 08-15-2015

I've spent the afternoon assembling a serious and in depth proposal for the TSP Planet's moons.

This is a simulation of the system assembled in Universe Sandbox. The file is available upon request.

The system contains two currently unnamed moons.

Moon A

The inner and larger moon. Smaller than our moon but orbits closer and faster.
  • Average Diameter: 3098.468 km
  • Mass: 6.0718 x 10^22 kg (0.82636 lunar masses)
  • Average Density: 3.8983 g/cm^3
  • Average Surface Gravity: 1.6883 m/s^2 (0.17215 g)

Moon B

The outer moon. Much smaller (around 1/20th mass) than the inner one. Orbits with a 2:1 resonance with the other moon.
  • Average Diameter: 1425.1 km
  • Mass: 3.48674 x 10^21 kg (0.0474537 lunar masses)
  • Average Density: 2.3009 g/cm^3
  • Average Surface Gravity: 0.45832 m/s^2 (0.046735 g)

Eeee, haven't we established the number of moons and their names?


RE: Moon Proposal - Kris Kringle - 08-16-2015

Personally, I trust Farengeto's calculations to be much more realistic and in accordance to the laws of physics than whatever was discussed in the other thread.

I echo the statement of my ally.


RE: Moon Proposal - Hammerstar - 08-16-2015

the names then, are we keeping them?


RE: Moon Proposal - Darkstrait - 08-16-2015

Iguana and Darkstraitisthecoolest, right? Tounge


RE: Moon Proposal - Hammerstar - 08-16-2015

Iguana and an unnamed moon.

I have the perfect idea for an RP… The unnamed moon shall be named by the nation that lands on it first!

*preps moon rockets*


RE: Moon Proposal - Ryccia - 08-16-2015

Well, if I cannot conquer the Earth, I'll conquer the stars.

*Starts building moon rockets and researchs on how to make a moon colony*


RE: Moon Proposal - Farengeto - 08-16-2015

No "Iguana", no stupid names, if we're doing this we're using seriois names.
