TRAPPIST-1 b

Innermost of TRAPPIST-1's seven Earth-size planets, which all orbit closer to their star than Mercury does to the Sun. JWST measured its dayside at about 230 °C and found no sign of a thick atmosphere.

What it would be like in Worldwalk imagined

Nobody has seen the surface of TRAPPIST-1 b. The game builds it from the real numbers above: you land on bare, cratered rock with no air.

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.
