Overview

RED


NaviComp name	RED
NaviComp coordinates	X: -500 Y: -3280
Has atmosphere	No
Has solid surface	Yes
Can be landed on	Yes
Can be splashed-down on	No

The red planet, shown as RED on the NaviComp, is a comparatively large planet with no atmosphere, explored in Mission 15, Mission 21 and Mission 35.

This planet is likely the Space Agency analogue of Mars. It has a low gravitational pull. Due to this, it is difficult to land. A failed attempt will result in the lander bouncing off of the surface, or exploding on impact.

From RED (+13) you can reach YEL (875), GRN (730), and LUN (990).

Trivia

Using LUN is a great check point especially if you send a few refuel tanks into orbit.
Unlike the real-world planet Mars, which RED is based off, RED has no atmosphere.
While RED has low gravity (just under 1 NCU/s) it has a large Circle of Influence.
A geometric positioning experiment conducted by 2020dragons revealed that RED's radius is 4 NaviComp units, and not 2.46 as intially reported.
