Sites
- Search and filter the reference sites by body and entry type. Each name opens that site's page.
- Reference sites are places named as analogs in a teammate-supplied list. Candidates are suggestions that are not in our reference list.
- The numbers are stored v1 scores, looked up at each site. This is a descriptive lookup, not a test, and the ranking has not been checked against independent data.
- All site text is teammate-written and unreviewed. No sources have been checked yet.
What the scores can and cannot tell you
- This is a lookup of scores v1 already stored. It is descriptive and is not a test of the method.
- A site is matched to the best-scoring tile that passed the gates within the match radius. A different radius would give different numbers.
- Tiles are large compared with most sites, so a score describes the surrounding area, not the site itself.
- Scores exist only for tiles that passed the land-cover and data gates. A gated-out or unscored site has no score, which says nothing about how good an analog it is.
- Percentile is the share of scored tiles in that view with a lower score.
- The Moon score is effectively terrain only. Mars is a low-confidence secondary result.
- v1 failed its negative controls, so a high percentile here does not show that a site is a good analog.
- The ranking is not checked against independent data. Gravity, air, dust and radiation are not scored.
- Sites are compared with views of their own body only.
- Match radius: 20 km, the radius v1 used.
