//may I point out that just because the gravity isn’t lower than Earth’s, it doesn’t necessarily have to be “almost 2G”. It could be anything from equal to Earth, to “squash you like a bug G”. But we know from sensor data that the planet is suitable for human colonization with no major terraforming, and I would argue that suggests not much more than 1G. But I’ll defer to the GM.
Mundy doesn’t look up from her console as she remarks,
Orbital weather satellites are programmed and ready to launch from Viper. The high atmosphere sensors need just a few more tweaks to adjust for the gravity. And we should have some local range drones ready after that.
