DATA SOURCES
NASA and USGS imagery and measurements appear alongside clearly labelled synthetic terrain and illustrative suit readings.
Maps & mission context
[1]
Mission Map · Jezero MOLA elevation
NASA Mars Global Surveyor · MOLA · USGS global mosaic · nominal 463 m/pixel
Used for: The Western Delta region uses a saved crop of this elevation file. It cannot resolve small rocks or walking hazards. The default jezero_hirise region still uses simulated terrain; a verified HiRISE orthoimage is missing.
[2]
Mission Map · HiRISE terrain catalogue
NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter · University of Arizona HiRISE
Used for: The original server lists this catalogue for real orthomosaics, terrain models and confidence layers. Listing the catalogue does not mean those files are installed; synthetic or derived layers remain labelled accordingly.
[3]
Mission Map · solar-event context
NASA DONKI · optional live solar-flare feed
Used for: The original server can request solar events from this service. The saved fallback shows illustrative values, not live readings. DONKI solar events are not Mars surface radiation-dose measurements.
[4]
Mission Map · official feature names and candidate maps
IAU/USGS Gazetteer · USGS Astrogeology · NASA Mars Trek
Used for: The original source manifest lists these portals for crater coordinates and candidate map downloads. Several Bangladesh-named crater coordinates remain approximate and need verification; portal links are not evidence of installed maps.
Waypoints & calculations
[1]
Perseverance (Mars 2020) rover waypoints
NASA/JPL-Caltech · MMGIS Mars 2020 map
Used for: Route, position (lat/lon), heading, elevation, rover tilt, sol, odometer, landing site (BASE) in the visor HUD; traverse line on the globe.
[2]
Mars24 Sunclock algorithm
NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (Allison & McEwen, 2000)
Used for: Live Local Mean Solar Time shown next to the sol in the HUD.
[3]
Mars Fact Sheet
NASA Space Science Data Coordinated Archive
Used for: Mean Mars radius (3389.5 km) for distances and headings.
NASA imagery & surface exploration
[1]
Mars Viking MDIM 2.1 Colorized Global Mosaic (232 m)
NASA/JPL/USGS · served by NASA Mars Trek (WMTS tiles, zoom 3, stitched to 4096×2048)

[2]
Surface photos inside the visor (team-supplied)

Used for: Two of the six ground views seen through the visor. Black frame borders were trimmed; no other edits.
[3]
PIA24546 — “Santa Cruz” hill inside Jezero Crater
NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS · Sol 68 · 29 Apr 2021 · Mastcam-Z, natural colour
Used for: Jezero Crater view inside the visor. Resized to 1920 px wide. No other edits, no AI.
[4]
PIA24485 — Remnant of the ancient Jezero river delta
NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS · Sol 4 · 22 Feb 2021 · Mastcam-Z, natural colour
Used for: Jezero Crater view inside the visor. Black frame border trimmed. No other edits, no AI.
[5]
PIA26335 — Neretva Vallis — the river channel that fed Jezero
NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS · Sol 1152 · 17 May 2024 · Mastcam-Z mosaic, natural colour
Used for: Jezero Crater view inside the visor. Cropped to the centre section of the panorama, resized to 1920 px wide. No other edits, no AI.
[6]
PIA24264 — Octavia E. Butler landing site, first 360° panorama
NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS/ASU · Sol 3 · 21 Feb 2021 · Mastcam-Z, natural colour
Used for: Jezero Crater view inside the visor. Cropped to the rover-free left section of the panorama, resized. No other edits, no AI.
[7]
Walk mode · PIA24663 — Mastcam-Z 360° view of Van Zyl Overlook
NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS · Sols 53–64 (Apr 2021) · 992 images
Used for: The 360° horizon of the walk environment. Top 880 rows (sky, horizon and distant ground, no rover parts) cut into 4 tiles and resized to 4096 px wide. Compass-aligned using Perseverance's own wheel tracks in the image. No AI.
[8]
Walk mode · HiRISE colour basemap of Jezero (25 cm/pixel)
NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona · NASA MMGIS Mars 2020 map
Used for: The ground you walk on: a 256 m square around Van Zyl Overlook stitched from zoom-19 tiles, colour-balanced per channel to match the Mastcam-Z panorama. No AI.
[9]
Walk mode · PIA24663 near-field ground — sharp detail under your feet
NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS · Mastcam-Z · Van Zyl Overlook
Used for: The HiRISE ground is only 25 cm per pixel, so close to your feet it looked blurry. A 3.12 m patch of real sand and pebbles about 4 m from the rover, taken from the lower part of the same 360° panorama, was projected to a top-down view (~3 mm per pixel) and only its fine texture is laid over the HiRISE colours within ~20 m of you. No AI.
[10]
Walk mode · Ingenuity helicopter waypoints and rover surface-view sites
NASA/JPL-Caltech · MMGIS Mars 2020 map
Used for: Position of Wright Brothers Field, flight dates, heights, durations and distances; rover parking sols at the landing site and Van Zyl Overlook.
[11]
Walk mode · PIA24550 — Ingenuity's first flight recorded by Mastcam-Z
NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS · 19 Apr 2021
Used for: Photo on the Wright Brothers Field card. Resized only.
[12]
Walk mode · PIA24541 — Ingenuity deployed on Mars
NASA/JPL-Caltech · rear Hazcam · 4 Apr 2021 (Sol 44)
Used for: Photo on the drop-off stop card. Thin black border trimmed, resized.
[13]
Walk mode · PIA24488 — Rocket scour and wheel prints
NASA/JPL-Caltech · Navcam · 5 Mar 2021
Used for: Photo on the first-drive card. Black lens corners cropped off the top, resized.

Simulated values
Oxygen, power, heart rate, internal temperature and comms strength are simulated — they are not NASA data. Suit pressure uses 29.6 kPa (4.3 psi), the nominal operating pressure of NASA's xEMU exploration suit. The photo hazard box is an illustrative marker on a visible rock, not a verified collision detection. In walk mode, the glowing beacons and rings are HUD markers placed at real NASA coordinates — they are not real objects on Mars.
