A low Earth orbit. The atmosphere is colored gray, and the edge of it is the Karman Line.
Kármán Line
The Kármán Line or simply called Karman Line is an imaginary line used to separate the Earth's atmosphere from space. This line is defined at 30 kilometers above mean sea level. 5 kilometers below it is Earth's timewarpHeight.
In the game's Map View, the line can be easily spotted as it is exactly between the gray ring starting from Earth (atmosphere) and the black area (space). In physics view, it is much more difficult to observe the line since there are no significant color changes of space around it.
Upon passing through it, the achievement "Passed the Karman Line, leaving the atmosphere and reaching space" will be given. The opposite action of passing through the Karman Line is reentry, where the achievement given is "Entered Earth's upper atmosphere".
Trivia[]
- This line is also named as "Von Kármán line", named after aerospace engineer Theodore von Kármán.
- The line is defined at 80 or 100 kilometers in real life, as opposed to the 30 km in the game.
