An Object is something named.

The Celestial type defines a celestial object within this library. Every celestial object has

• r [m] the radius (from the bodys center) in meter
• m [kg] the mass of the object in kilo gramms
• soi [m] the sphere of influence of the object in meter
• system empty or a system of surronding objects.

The Body type is the central data type within the KSP library. It could be either Railed or Movable

• Railed is everything withing ksp that is a star, a planet or a moon. They are static in their orbits and are therefore called railed.
• Movable is every other part in ksp, that is physical. Here they include deltaV counter, but are also modelled as celestial objects. Actually in ksp orbits around movable parts arent possible. Anyhow, within this data type such constructs are doable.

The 'Orbit a' data type defines an orbit around a central body centerBody.

• centerBody is the body the orbit is around
• apoapsis is the height of the heighest point of the orbit
• periapsis is the height of the lowest point of the orbit
• inclination is the angle that the orbit is inclined against the aquatorial plane
• omega_big is the longitude of the ascending node
• omega_small is the argument of the periapsis

mkOrbit takes a body as well as apoapsis and periapsis and of that creates an orbit.

mkCircOrbit is similar to mkOrbit with the difference that it creates a circular orbit.

The Height is the height above ground level.

The System module contains the type definition of a System.

GravConst is the type of the gravitation constant, which is obious a double.

KSystem creates a data constructor, that binds the System to a System of Orbits around Bodys.
