Fantastic job, well done Cmdr! Now go and have a nice cup of tea and a lie down for a couple of years

Congratulations Cmdr Straha Yeager, a truly inspirational circumnavigation!
I'll update the details on the circumnavigation thread asap and sort out your EDSM badge (assuming you use EDSM). Do you have any idea of your apprioximate in-game duration and/or distance travelled for the circumnavigation?
P.S. I'm guessing you're not on EDSM?

Also - could you check your entry over here and by all means suggest an alternative image to represent your journey.
Those point to point calculations - did you calculate planar or spherical distances...? :xThanks all for joining me on this journey! And what a journey it was. The final numbers...
Daily point to point travel distances calculated based on starting and finishing coordinates...

Right on, Commander! [up]Spherical using the haversine formula.
Right on, Commander! [up]
Given the nature of some of the history and mathematics I presented on this thread, that would have been a rather embarrassing mistake
I will be lifting off the surface in Buckeye II later today, but will not be leaving this moon until I have found the elusive geysers that my sensors indicate should be here...somewhere.
Earlier today I flew down the long canyon that's near the large crater on the equater.
There are some great views but no geysers.
I read somewhere on the forum that the chances of finding geysers are better on planets smaller than this one.
I don't really know what to look for though.
And after about three hours of searching, I found my first ever volcanic site.
Once I actually got into a rhythm, and laid out an actual search pattern starting along the equator, using the glide method, I found this site close to the equator about 3/4 around from where I started. Now, if I had done my SRV circumnavigation along the equator rather than pole to pole, and had managed to stick close to the 0° parallel, I have actually have run across this site as it is only about 500m off the true equator.
