I'm at the point in my Career run where I'm starting to be able to launch towards the inner Juno system, and I've managed to crash-land a rover on Vulco and limp it around for a bit. Looking at the map, most of the locations on Vulco are more or less on the cooler side of the planet, but Initial Zenith is... literally directly in the middle of the lava half.

Could someone please explain to me how this location is supposed to be reached? Do I just eventually get even better heat shielding that somehow lets me fly on the sunward side of Vulco, or is the location just there to taunt me (i.e. only reachable with tinkered heat shields in Sandbox mode).

Advice would be much appreciated, I've been stuck thinking about this for a while now. Thanks!

    i'm pretty sure it was just meant to be a one-way thing, send a rocket that can survive the heat for long enough, dunk it in, and boom

    I'd just send a rocket on a suicide mission. Land a heavily shielded craft there, and bob around for a bit until you explode.
