Day and night on Yela

A full day on Yela lasts 1 hour 49 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.

Approach

The nearest quantum point on Yela is Nakamura Valley Aid Shelter. From there it is 98.8 km on the shortest route (great circle) or 98.8 km on a fixed compass heading of 212.3 degrees. At 250 m/s and 2 km altitude that works out to roughly 7 minutes of flight time. The great circle is shorter but needs constant correction; on the rhumb line you hold one heading.

Orbital markers

Distances from GrimHEX to the six orbital markers. It works the other way round too: read those numbers off your HUD and you can work out exactly where you are.
