Signal Delay

You are flight control for a probe entering the atmosphere. But it's millions of miles away — every reading you get is already 15 to 45 seconds old, and every command you send takes just as long to arrive.

You'll never see where the probe actually is. You steer by PROJECTED — a prediction of its real position — and hope your correction lands before it drifts too far. Keep it in the safe band until touchdown.

Then the radio cuts, and you wait in silence to find out whether you got it right.

Controls: TRIM −0.1 / +0.1 to counter the drift. Watch your fuel.
