The Barrens

The Barrens is forward operating base on microTech in the Stanton system. It sits at 0.1 degrees suedlich latitude and -76.6 degrees longitude.

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 The Barrens.

Approach

The nearest quantum point on microTech is Shubin Mining Facility SM0-10. From there it is 336.5 km on the shortest route (great circle) or 336.5 km on a fixed compass heading of 155.0 degrees. At 250 m/s and 2 km altitude that works out to roughly 22 minutes of flight time. The great circle is shorter but needs constant correction; on the rhumb line you hold one heading.
