Drifters

Drifters is forward operating base on microTech in the Stanton system. It sits at 39.8 degrees suedlich latitude and 115.5 degrees longitude, 1.0 km above ground.

Day and night on microTech

A full day on microTech lasts 4 hours 7 minutes, and roughly half of that is daylight. In Stanton and Pyro every body lies in one plane with no axial tilt — so there are no seasons, and the daylight phase is the same length everywhere. The directory below works out in real time when the sun is up at Drifters.

Approach

The nearest quantum point on microTech is MT DataCenter KH3-AAE-L. From there it is 318.1 km on the shortest route (great circle) or 318.1 km on a fixed compass heading of 192.9 degrees. At 250 m/s and 2 km altitude that works out to roughly 21 minutes of flight time. The great circle is shorter but needs constant correction; on the rhumb line you hold one heading.
