for Kerbal Space Program, from IapetusMods

A bunch of mods I CANNOT play KSP without. Don't forget the dependencies!
2.2.10 for KSP 1.12.5

Outer Planets Mod

The Outer Planets Mod is a mod that expands the outer edges of the Kerbol system to create something akin to the real Solar System's. It adds Kerbalized versions of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto as well as several of these planets' moons. These faraway planets provide a challenge rarely encountered in Kerbal Space Program; you'll have to figure out new transfer windows, manage your power supply differently, provide your spacecraft with more Delta-V and be ready to travel years or even decades.

Minor Planets Expansion

The Minor Planets Expansion (MPE) is made to work along-side the glorious Outer Planets Mod to make a more complete analogue to our real solar system. It does so by adding a total of 15 new objects, from asteroids to dwarf planets! All of which use hand-drawn heightmaps, have biome maps, and even science definitions!
