WORLDWALKKepler-42 c
Kepler-42 c is a hot small rocky planet orbiting a red dwarf star 130.7 ly away. A year there lasts 11 hours. It was found using the transit method: it dims its star as it passes in front. Note: its mass is estimated from its size.
What it would be like in Worldwalk imagined
Nobody has seen the surface of Kepler-42 c. The game builds it from the real numbers above: you land on dry, dusty desert rock.
- Air: thin CO₂ (carbon dioxide), N₂ (nitrogen) · a guess. Surface pressure: 0.93 bar.
- A 70 kg explorer would feel like 41 kg.
- A jump that clears 50 cm on Earth would reach about 86 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.
