Planet 03 · Terrestrial ocean world
The only known world with a living ocean.
Earth is the largest rocky planet and the only place known to host life. Liquid surface water, plate tectonics, a protective magnetic field, and a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere make it unlike every other world we have examined.
World profile
About 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other gases.
A moving rocky crust with continents, ocean basins, ice, and active plate tectonics.
Global average about 59 °F (15 °C)
One — the Moon
Composition
Field notes
Earth is the only planet known to keep stable liquid water on its surface.
The moving liquid-metal outer core generates the magnetic field that helps shield the atmosphere.
The leading model for the Moon's origin starts with a giant impact into the young Earth.

The Nusantara Lima mission, led by Indonesia's Pasifik Satelit Nusantara (PSN), involves launching a high-throughput telecommunications satellite to provide enhanced broadband services across Indonesia and surrounding regions. Built by Boeing on the 702MP satellite platform, Nusantara Lima will augment the capacity of the SATRIA-1 satellite, offering a total capacity of over 160 Gbps. This satellite is designed to support underserved areas, providing reliable connectivity to remote regions, including rural hospitals and schools. Around 80 Gbps of its bandwidth will serve Indonesia, with additional capacity aimed at neighboring countries like Malaysia and the Philippines. Nusantara Lima is scheduled to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and will be placed into a geostationary orbit. The satellite is part of Indonesia's efforts to bridge the digital divide, providing internet access in areas where terrestrial communication infrastructure is not feasible. The mission will also rely on ground systems developed by partners such as Hughes Network Systems and Kratos Communications, ensuring operational efficiency and scalability.

Mission-name collisions such as Project Mercury and Saturn launch vehicles are deliberately kept with Earth unless they actually visited the planet. Technically obvious; historically necessary.
