Summary

Location
- Country
- USA (Hawaii)
- Coordinates
- 19.60, -155.49
- Elevation (m)
- 2500
- Year first used as an analog
- 2013
Terrain and geology

Climate

Parameters matched
not provided
Why it is an analog
Longest NASA-funded Mars isolation missions, on barren basalt.
Key differences: where the analogy breaks down
Thick air; tropical high-altitude climate; Earth gravity.
Experiments done
HI-SEAS missions (2013-2018: 4, 8 and 12-month Mars missions) studying crew cohesion, food, sleep and 20-min communication delays; later lunar and Mars campaigns.
Experiments proposed
Habitat ops; suited EVA on basalt; ISRU demonstrations; dust airlock trials; communication-delay operations.
How to adjust it
Regolith (cinder) berms around the dome; dust-control airlock tests; Mars-sol scheduling.

v1 score, percentile and overlap flag
A descriptive lookup of scores v1 already stored. It is not a test, and a high percentile here does not show that this is a good analog.
v1 used this site
Unknown. The nearest v1 site, "mauna kea", is about 24.3 km away, and the files cannot say whether v1 meant the same place.
| Score view | Result | Percentile | Score | Distance to tile (km) | Overlap flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Connecting Ridge C1, Base | Scored | 96.5 | 36.3 | 15.6 | Not in a flagged tile |
| Connecting Ridge C1, Landing and mobility | Scored | 99.2 | 39.2 | 15.1 | In a flagged tile |
| Connecting Ridge C1, Power and night | Scored | 96.5 | 26.3 | 15.6 | Not in a flagged tile |
| Shackleton rim, Base | Scored | 92.8 | 40.1 | 19.8 | Not in a flagged tile |
| Shackleton rim, Landing and mobility | Scored | 98.6 | 42.7 | 15.1 | Not in a flagged tile |
| Shackleton rim, Power and night | Scored | 92.8 | 29.1 | 19.8 | Not in a flagged tile |
Overlap flag: whether the tile used for the score is one v1 flagged as stable in its top group across the Monte Carlo runs.
What these 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.
