Olympus Mons

Recommended Posts

I have not been following the forums as much as I used to, but I randomly decided to check the BIS forums and I found the announcement of Take On Mars interesting.

I would like to know if there is any chance of Olympus Mons being included?

Edit: Never mind, I just noticed that there are only three locations to be included.

Olympus Mons was originally planned as well, but time limitations ruled it out. The issue is also that a different landing system would be required - the atmospheric pressure at the peak is around 51pa from memory, whereas on the surface it is an average of 600pa, again from memory. That difference means a parachute is unusable as a landing system, for example.
