Each Norway | The {{USS|Montreal}} is capable of atmospheric entry and egress with equipment worked into the physical design of the starship. Each {{c|Norway}} class vessel is equipped with anti-gravity generators as well as impulse and RCS lifters strategically placed at the mass and stress points on the bottom portion of the main saucer section as well as balancing thrusters on the aft-bottom of the catamarans. | ||
It is standard procedure to lower the landing gear at approximately 2500m above the Landing Zone surface, regardless of Landing Zone altitude. This minimizes the drag on the vessel. Once prepared for landing, Aft impulse engines are shut down and four vents on the ventral hull are opened. | It is standard procedure to lower the landing gear at approximately 2500m above the Landing Zone surface, regardless of Landing Zone altitude.
