WORLDWALKGJ 1061 c
GJ 1061 c is a temperate Earth-size planet orbiting a red dwarf star 12 ly away. A year there lasts 6.7 days. It was found using the radial velocity method: it makes its star wobble. Its temperature could allow liquid water, which makes it a habitable-zone candidate, not a confirmed habitable world. It sits where a planet could be warm enough for liquid water, in the so-called habitable zone.
What it would be like in Worldwalk imagined
Nobody has seen the surface of GJ 1061 c. 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: 1.08 bar.
- A 70 kg explorer would feel like 89 kg.
- A jump that clears 50 cm on Earth would reach about 39 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.
