Entering orbit…
Star and planet drawn to scale (a typical star of its class), with only the star's edge in view. Orbits spaced as in the star system view.
Planet, moons and orbits drawn to one scale; the smallest moons are enlarged so they can be seen.
Surface. Frozen surface covered in water ice, possible subsurface ocean if tidal heating present

Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Cold enough for nitrogen and methane to lie as frost on the surface (Triton-like).
