'''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.

Players are able to land on four types of airless [[planets]] - rocky, metal, ice and rocky/metal - which make up 61% of the planet types in the Milky Way galaxy. These planets vary in size and composition, therefore having different gravity forces affecting the flight and landing dynamics.

== Trivia ==
* You can fly from space to a planet surface with only your [[thrusters]] (not [[supercruise]]), but it takes a long time.
* The slight loading between [[supercruise]] and [[Glide|gliding]] above a planet surface is the instance and P2P.
