Mission Comparison

Find the strongest candidate.

Put landing sites and dates next to each other. Synchronised 3D views show each site from the surface while the same metrics line up underneath, so differences are easy to spot.

How a comparison will look

Below is the empty layout. Sites are added from Free Exploration; the metrics fill in once each site has been analysed.

Mission comparison is in development. No sites have been analysed, so every metric is empty by design.
