Minmus - Galileo88/JNSQ GitHub Wiki
Minmus is rather small, rather distant, and rather green. As long as artisan food has existed, so has the belief that it is composed of ice cream or mint. But recently, some have wised up and begun assuming it may actually be a rust ball. Mentioning this, however, tends to lead to levels of conflict only seen in debates between two political alignments.
Like a spotted dog, Minmus contains a number of biomes (in the green) and a number of brown variants of these. It still has many flats, though they are not called flats. Its particular composition of solid N2 and O2, for an inner system body highly suggests that it's indeed somehow a captured ice world. It retains its mass, gravity and inclination from stock.
When using the n-body physics of the mod Principia, the orbit of Minmus becomes highly unstable. This problem is resolved for Principia users by moving Minmus' orbit inside that of Mun.
