Commander's log: Tom Areani; SRV circumnavigation of Greae Phreia AY-F d12-835 1

"Commander's Log, Tom Areani, begin recording."

"Here in this log I will catalogue my attempt to circumnavigate the planet Greae Phreia AY-F d12-835 1, which I will hence forth refer to as planet "Grey Freya".

"Planet's statistics are as follows:

High metal content world
1.3346 Earth Masses
6635 km radius
1.23 g's
Surface Temperature of 753 k
No volcanism
No atmosphere
Composition of 67.6% rock and 32.4% metal
Orbital Period of 3577.9 days
Semi Major Axis of 3.70 AU
Orbital Eccentricity of 0.0005
Orbital Inclination of 0.11
ARG of Periapsis 276.38 degrees
Rotational Period of 0.7 days
Axial tilt of -23.93 degrees.

I am beginning my journey at planet Grey Freya's Latitude and Longitude coordinates 0.000, 0.000.

I will make my heading at 90 degrees, circumnavigating her globe along the equator, remaining as much as possible on that latitude, and will end my journey back at coordinates 0.000, 0.000.

Here I will record my stops, starts, number of refuels, number of repairs, each session's starting and ending coordinates, as well as supply a data-link to my SRV's recording unit, for posterity.

Wish me luck...

Milestone Note:
Just crossed my first longitude line. Currently at 0.013, 1.001! On my way!

End Log entry #1:
ending coordinates: 0.0000, 3.2300.

Only 3 refuels (used two standard refills. They last a while).

no point in counting the number of repairs....

Driving the equator, and slightly larger than Earth? This might take some time. I look forward to seeing how it goes!
 
yeah, sorry to disappoint, but I have to end this expedition.

I still want to do it sometime, and Ill even do it on the same world, but I need more time to prepare. Ill have to dump all mats that don't apply to fuel or repairs. And fill up ENTIRELY on only those mats.

Also, I need more time, PERIOD. I just don't have enough time right now to give to this venture. As I am in the military IRL, and with rumors of a potential deployment coming up very soon (sorry, but opsec means I cant say more than that, even if I knew more, which I actually don't). Seeing as how I may not have much time before that, I have other things I would rather spend time on before hand, IRL, in other games, AND in Elite.

But one day. I will do this. When I have more time, and am better prepared.
