G 261-6 b
G 261-6 b is a temperate Earth-size planet orbiting a red dwarf star 34.7 ly away. A year there lasts 5.5 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 G 261-6 b. The game builds it from the real numbers above: you land on rocky land with shallow seas.
- Air: N₂ (nitrogen), CO₂ (carbon dioxide), H₂O (water vapor) · a guess. Surface pressure: 0.66 bar.
- A 70 kg explorer would feel like 79 kg.
- A jump that clears 50 cm on Earth would reach about 44 cm.
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.
