'''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. | '''Planetary Landing''' is the act of landing with a [[Ships|ship]] on the surface of a [[Terrestrial Planet|terrestrial body]].

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. | 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.
