A New Platform for Finding Mars-Like Terrain on Earth

Excited to announce a new project I’m building: a free & open-source topography identification platform for space research and analog astronaut training. 🚀

The app and web platform identifies locations on Earth that resemble the terrain of Mars, the Moon, and other planetary environments using topographic and terrain analysis.

Purpose:

• Analog astronaut training

• Rover mission simulations

• Planetary research

• Space education

• Exploration planning

The vision is simple: make space research tools more accessible to students, researchers, and developers around the world.

Earth holds landscapes that can help prepare humanity for future missions beyond our planet — and this platform aims to help discover them.

Open-source soon. 🌍🌌
