3.7 Planetary Landing

Voyager can theoretically land on a Class M planet using its Ground Hover Footpad System of four stabilization pads working with the warp engines, though the USS Intrepid has only practiced the maneuver without fully settling onto the ground.

Voyager can theoretically be maneuvered into the atmosphere of a Class M planet and (hopefully) safely landed. The structural strain of landing would be absorbed by the Ground Hover Footpad System, a set of four stabilization pads which work in concert with the warp engines to suspend the ship over the terrain. The USS Intrepid has practiced this delicate maneuver under controlled conditions, but has not yet powered down the suspension field and allowed the full weight of the ship to compress the ground. At most, the stresses would be akin to supporting a Nimitz class aircraft carrier or Trident submarine on its normal drydock.
