Four slow
projects.
Every number sourced.
Public data already exists for these. The work is to make a slice of it auditable by someone who is not a mission specialist, one region and one layer at a time.

Moon south pole atlas
For this patch of the lunar south pole, can you land, stay powered, talk to Earth, and walk to ice — and how sure are we?
Nobile Rim 1 sheet, hourly Sun and Earth timelines, and the same five fields at one published point in each of the nine October 2024 regions. Not a ranking.

Space weather
What does this solar radiation storm mean for a crew beyond low Earth orbit, a polar flight, and the power grid?
September 2017, NOAA region 2673: a replay of SWPC alerts, GOES-13 protons and RadLab CRaTER dose. A past observation, not a forecast. Dose is copied, not computed from flux.

Prototype
Mars surface power
Where on Mars is solar power an inconvenience, and where is it unsafe for a crew?
Six sites, one frozen Mars Climate Database v6.2 slice: noon sunlight through the year, plus one sol at the twelve stored local times. Opportunity's 2018 measured opacity stays in its own unit. Modelled values, not a verdict. No power system was sized.

Optical links
Where does a laser hop sit between Earth, the Moon and Mars, and how long is the light on that path?
Four schematics: the measured Starlink mesh, an Earth–Moon path, an Earth–Mars path, and a Sun–Mars L4 relay for conjunction. Light time is distance over c. A rate is printed only from a published figure. Not a link budget.
