Landing Criteria
Safe Thresholds
V-Speed < 4 m/s · H-Speed < 2.5 m/s · Tilt within 12°
Mars Gravity
3.72 m/s² — about 38% of Earth's. Objects fall slower, but you still need thrust to slow your descent.
Martian Wind
Mars has thin but persistent winds. A new wind direction and strength is set each game — watch the indicator.
Fuel Management
Every thruster burn costs fuel. If you run out before landing, you'll fall uncontrolled. Burn smart.
Landing Criteria
Hit the pad with vertical speed < 4 m/s, horizontal speed < 2.5 m/s, and tilt within 12°.
