Your small moon (or small dwarf planet) is a double moon. The planet which it orbits gains an additional small moon which forms a double with this moon. You do not have to pay rock for this moon additional moon and it does not take up a lunar orbit. All (non-special) bonuses purchased on the one moon, such as atmosphere, oceans, natural life, etc. that are applied to the moon are automatically gained on the additional moon for free. This bonus continues to apply if you add or improve the atmospheres later by means of terraformation - you terraform one, you get the other terraformed for free.

Additionally, if both moons feature identical Industrial Zones, they both count as Focussed. Power Zones and Augmentation Zones may be added freely without losing Focus. If both moons are focussed on the same product or raw material, they gain a production bonus of +5, as if they were a medium moon, instead of a +0 as if they were small moons. This is in addition to, not a replacement of regular focus for small moons (which does nothing).

Finally, the double moons benefit from one-another's Augmentation Zones (This power is purely for flavour. Do not use it. It is not beneficial.)
