Eeloo

Eeloo is a dwarf planet in the Kerbol system of the Kerbal Space Program universe. It lies in the outer reaches of the system and serves as one of the distant, icy worlds that players can study and visit. Introduced to expand exploration options, Eeloo offers a challenging target for interplanetary missions and long-distance flight planning.

Physically, Eeloo is described as an icy, irregularly shaped body with a cold, cratered surface. The terrain is varied and generally hostile to unprotected landings, featuring craters, ridges, and plains. The atmosphere, if present at all, is negligible, resulting in a vacuum environment on the surface. The combination of extreme temperatures and rugged terrain makes surface operations difficult and requires careful planning with appropriate gear and propulsion.

In orbital terms, Eeloo orbits the star at a considerable distance with a notably inclined and eccentric path. Its remote position contributes to long travel times from Kerbin and to significant delta-v requirements for mission designers. Day-night cycles and solar exposure on Eeloo further affect mission timing and energy management during exploration.

For gameplay, Eeloo is valued as a testbed for deep-space missions, long-duration transfers, and complex mission architectures. Players may perform flybys, orbital insertions, and landings, and can attempt sample collection and potential return trajectories, depending on their design goals. As a distant, icy dwarf planet, Eeloo helps illustrate the diversity of the Kerbol system and the logistical challenges of exploring the solar frontier.
