Maol is the first and innermost moon of Lomina. Maol is covered in craters and has steep terrain.

Stationary orbit around Maol is not possible — it would require an altitude of 90.46 km, outside of Maol's sphere of influence.

In-Game Description

“

A tiny, pathetic moon orbiting way too close to Lomina. Its many craters and chaotic surface was likely the result of a collision between Maol and an object of similar size. The debri created by such a collision might have formed Lomina's rings. — Kerbal Astronomical Society
