How big is the SFS moon?

[David T. Belitrov]

I specifically need to know the length from top to bottom in meters and/or kilometers. I'm starting a project that could be half the size, or even bigger than the moon, but i need to know how big the moon is so I can accurately use it as a reference for my project.

(To me, this seems to be the appropriate forum to ask this question in. If it isn't, do let me know.)

Let me do some tests in space flight sim to find out

You are aware that because the physics simulation range is 5 km, objects further than that kinda don't exist to the craft you're controlling, right?
As for your question, SFS is the solar system scaled down to 1:20, so just divide the real numbers by 20 (correct me if I'm wrong)

I’m aware don’t know about him also to make a single craft that big you will lag tones and even with inf biuld area you have to be careful not to move the parts off your screen or they will be deleted
The moon is around 83 km to 82.9 km

Are you sure you mean diameter and not radius?

 

[Orion belt inc]

I mean like down to the moons core so it whould be diameter I think
Here let me post the video of how deep the moon is on my yt or discord ask me what you want me to post it on

 

[Marmilo]

I mean like down to the moons core so it whould be diameter I think

From surface to center would be radius
Diameter is radius x 2
I got 174 km

 

[Orion belt inc]

Yea the radius

 

[Marmilo]

Also, I like the usage of "top" and "bottom" in this context

 

[Altaïr]

The moon is around 83 km to 82.9 km

To be precise, the radius is 86.5 km, so the diameter is 173 km.
Good luck to build a ship that's just a tenth of that size

Even a 100th the size

 

[David T. Belitrov]

Thanks for helping. It doesn't matter if the physics has a limit of 5km, i just need to spawn it in, and take a picture.

 

[Orion belt inc]

how big is the render range?
It’s like 500m right?

Yeah, i thought the project would be bigger, but its only 10km in height.

 

[Orion belt inc]

If we round the moons size to 200km your biuld is a 20th the size but because the moon is smaller than 200km it’s over a 20th the size

Well i can see half of it, so im sure i can see all of it. I have to use 2 blueprints, because just without filling in the shell its laggy.

If all that matters is making a picture... I would seriously consider making a smaller moon in a custom solar system, so that making a ship comparable in size is easier.

I mean the render range for vessels not being controlled by the player at that moment
Make this moon like 15, 20 times smaller

 

[David T. Belitrov]

If yall want some context, im making a diamond shaped, "Space Station City". I have to make both top and bottom half's in their own separate bp to try and make it less laggy. Each half has a height of 4998, and part count of 2504.

Im not actually gonna put it next to the moon, i just wanted something to compare its size to.

It whould be cool if you tryed to incase Phobos or dominos

I would, but im not gonna go around stealing planets lol
(This project is for a geopolitical server im in, which will be the largest space station ever created to my knowledge.)

Moons not planets

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

Moons not planets

Or celestial body? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[David T. Belitrov]

'Tis a simple mistake, but you get the idea.
