Safety limitsFail these → cell excluded (red, dashed border)

Max landing elevation ⓘ −2000 m

−5000m −4000m −3000m −2000m −1000m 0m

Cells above this turn red (excluded). Moves the green/red boundary — NASA baseline: −2000m.

Thermal Inertia safe range ⓘ 200–800 TIU

0 100 200 350 500 800 1400 TIU

Cells outside this range → excluded (red). Only applies where THEMIS data exists.

Terrain Steepness ⓘ 0–15°

0° 5° 10° 15° 🚀 2°

Cells steeper than the upper limit are excluded (red). NASA hard limit: 15°; Starship target: 2°.

View filtersOutside these → cell hidden from view (not marked unsafe)

|Latitude| range 0–90°

0° 30° 60° 90°

NASA solar power limit: ≤30°. Starship may tolerate more.

Shown elevation band −6000–−1000m

−6000m −4000m −2000m −1000m

Hides safe cells outside this band (does not mark them unsafe). Deeper = denser atmosphere.

Show excluded zones (red)

Excluded cells (dashed red border) fail a safety limit: elevation, slope >15°, craters, or thermal inertia.
