Barnard e

Barnard e is a warm small rocky planet orbiting a red dwarf star 6 ly away. A year there lasts 6.7 days. It was found using the radial velocity method: it makes its star wobble. Note: its size is estimated from its mass, only a minimum mass is known.

What it would be like in Worldwalk imagined

Nobody has seen the surface of Barnard e. The game builds it from the real numbers above: you land on dry, dusty desert rock.

Pack the right suit. Choose 3 of 6 modules (cooling, heating, pressure hull, extra oxygen, radiation shield, jetpack), complete 3 surveys and get back to the lander before your oxygen runs out.
