Approach

The nearest quantum point on Calliope is Rayari Anvik Research Outpost. From there it is 83.0 km on the shortest route (great circle) or 83.0 km on a fixed compass heading of 269.7 degrees. At 250 m/s and 2 km altitude that works out to roughly 6 minutes of flight time. The great circle is shorter but needs constant correction; on the rhumb line you hold one heading.
