Planetary Circumnavigation
Planetary Circumnavigation is the act of traveling a complete circuit around a landable planet or moon in a SRV and returning to the starting location or longitude. Small planets and moons are the most ideal locations for this activity. Travel time varies depending on the circumference of the body and the smoothness or lack thereof of the terrain.
