Minshara Class
Earth (ENT-78)
Vulcan designation for a planet suitable for humanoid life. Upon encountering a new planet in 2151, T’Pol suggested launching automated probes to the surface to ascertain whether or not it was Minshara-class.[2] Presumably, the term was the origin for the later Class-M designation.[1]

Enterprise NCC-1701‘s computer in 2254.[1] Mars was colonized by Humans in 2103.[3] By 2155, terraforming efforts had brought the planet’s original Class-K atmosphere[6] to the verge of breathability.[4] By the 24th century, Mars had become a Class-M planet.[5] Mars had a diameter of 6790 kilometers and took 24 hours 37 minutes to complete one rotation; gravity was 0.38 g. Mars was located 227,940,000 kilometers from Sol and took 686.9 days to complete one revolution around the star. Mars had two asteroidal moons, Phobos and Deimos.[6] Orbital facilities included the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards.[2]

Luna, commonly known simply as “the Moon,” was a Class-D world orbiting Earth.[4] By the late 24th century, more than 50 million people lived on the Moon.[3] The Talosians viewed several images about Earth’s Moon and programs to study and explore it while accessing the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701‘s computer in 2254.[1] The Copernicus Ship Yards were located in orbit, with office facilities on the surface; the U.S.S. Hathaway NCC-2593 was built there.[2] Other points of interest on the Moon included Tranquility Base, where Apollo 11 landed in July 1969; as well as Lake Armstrong and New Berlin.[3] See also: Apollo program, Armstrong, Neil, Kennedy, John F., Lunar probe, Ranger probe.
