Lander (video Game)
''Lander'' is an Action game, action Shooter game, shooter game video game developer, developed in-house at the Manchester office of Psygnosis. It was released for Microsoft Windows in 1999 and video game publisher, published under the Psygnosis label shortly before the Manchester office was closed and the Psygnosis label was fully absorbed into Sony. Lander was inspired by the classic game Thrust (computer game), Thrust (and to a lesser extent Lunar Lander (video game series), Lunar Lander), and featured similar gameplay of controlling a ship with realistic thrust and inertia, but with a new 3D game environment. Critically, the game was badly received by most critics, but had occasional highly positive reviews by those who had found the control system to be rewarding rather than frustrating. Gameplay The player takes on the role of a mercenary lander pilot, looking to make his fortune while travelling on the interplanetary cruise ship ''Drake's Exception'' while it makes a his ...

Lander (spacecraft)
A lander is a spacecraft that descends towards, then comes to rest on the surface of an astronomical body other than Earth. In contrast to an impact probe, which makes a hard landing that damages or destroys the probe upon reaching the surface, a lander makes a soft landing after which the probe remains functional. For bodies with atmospheres, the landing occurs after atmospheric entry. In these cases, landers may employ parachutes to slow them down enough to maintain a low terminal velocity. In some cases, small landing rockets will be fired just before impact in order to reduce the lander's velocity. Landing may be accomplished by controlled descent and set down on landing gear, with the possible addition of a post-landing attachment mechanism (such as the mechanism used by ''Philae'') for celestial bodies with low gravity. Some missions (for example, Luna 9 and Mars Pathfinder) used inflatable airbags to cushion the lander's impact rather than utilizing more traditional ...

Benthic Lander
A benthic lander is an autonomous observational platform that sits on the seabed or benthic zone to record physical, chemical or biological activity. Benthic landers have deployment durations from a few days (for biological studies) to several years (for physical oceanography studies). In these studies they conduct a variety of underwater measurements, and thus different lander configurations exist to meet differing needs for different measurements. Purpose Samples that are brought up from the seabed undergo large changes in temperature and pressure, thus changing their physical and chemical composition and properties. This change in properties means that any measurements taken from samples brought to the surface do not provide accurate data. In order to avoid this, it is best that the measurements are taken directly at the seabed level, without moving the samples. Initially, to prevent altering samples, divers would go to the sea bed and carry out the experiments. However ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lander (game Demo)
''Zarch'' (also known under its ported name of ''Virus'') is a computer game developed by David Braben (better known as the co-author of ''Elite'') in 1987, for the release of the Acorn Archimedes computer. ''Zarch'' started off as a demo called ''Lander'' which was bundled with almost all releases of the Acorn Archimedes. In 1988, ''Zarch'' was ported (under the new name, ''Virus'') to the Atari ST, Amiga (coded by David Braben), and IBM PC (coded by Chris Sawyer). It was later ported to the ZX Spectrum by Steven Dunn. The game was groundbreaking for the time, featuring a three-dimensional mouse-controlled craft (the "lander") flying over a tile-rendered landscape that dazzled reviewers in a primarily 2D-dominated game industry - ''ACE'' (''Advanced Computer Entertainment'') magazine led with the headline "''SOLID 3D - the future of games?''" when it reviewed ''Zarch'' with a score of 979, the highest rating ''ACE'' had given at that time, only bettered by the later Atari S ...
