Before you select a mission, you must first select a planet by using the solar system map.In the diagram below you can see that most planets are heliocentric in orbit, meaning their orbit is centered around the sun. Each planet orbits at a different speed, meaning that the distance between the planets is constantly being reconfigured.However, you'll also notice that one planet, Taranis, has an orbit that takes it into and out of the solar system! This is meant to represent how a comet might behave, although in reality most comet orbits are elliptical, we've chosen to simplify our orbits to circular in order to make it easier to understand and more consistent.An example of planet orbits as detailed in o...
