'''Planetary Landing''' is the act of landing with a [[Ships|ship]] on the surface of a [[Terrestrial Planet|terrestrial body]]. This requires a [[Planetary Approach Suite]] to land on planets without [[Atmosphere|atmospheres]], or an [[Advanced Planetary Approach Suite]] to land on planets with zero to [[Atmospheric Landings|tenuous atmospheres]]. Planetary landing with atmospheres greater than 0.1 atm is currently prohibited.
