How much of the Moon Base band lies inside the region spanned by PSI test points, and what tests would close the rest.

Why 0 % is expected

What it is. A note shown when none of the Moon Base band lies inside a PSI test region.

What it shows. That 0 % follows by construction: the page counts only tests run at the band's gravity, and NASA's challenge statement says there is currently no partial-gravity combustion data in PSI. It is expected, not a finding.

How to use it. Read on to what FM2 as planned would measure, which corners stay unmeasured, and the nearest PSI evidence in the Envelope.

Example. The Envelope with the Moon Base condition lists the nearest investigations in other gravity regimes.

What it does not do. It does not say the band is safe or unsafe.

Coverage is not safety (Planner)

What it is. A standing sentence about what coverage means.

What it shows. That covered means inside the region spanned by measured test points (between tests, within the 0.5 % tolerance; not necessarily a test at that exact condition), not that flammability behaves the same there.

How to use it. Read it before quoting any coverage figure.

Example. 0 % covered says no PSI test region reaches there; it does not say a flame is safe or unsafe.

What it does not do. It is not a button and it does not change any number.

Clear points

What it is. A button that removes all your hypothetical points.

What it shows. Nothing.

How to use it. Click it.

Example. Start the design again.

What it does not do. It does not touch the data.

Coverage gained per test

What it is. A table that ranks planned experiments by what they add.

What it shows. Coverage before and after, cells gained and gain per test.

How to use it. Read across a row.

Example. FM2 as planned adds a line.

What it does not do. It ranks coverage, not value or safety.

Coverage sentence

What it is. One sentence with the share of the band inside the region spanned by PSI test points.

What it shows. The covered share of grid cells, and the ERL badge.

How to use it. Read it; toggle a layer to see the planned share.

Example. 0 % of the band is covered today.

What it does not do. Coverage is the share of grid cells where an investigation is comparable; it is not safety.

Design your experiment

What it is. A section where you try hypothetical test points.

What it shows. The coverage with your points, recomputed by the engine.

How to use it. Click the plot, pick a fuel phase, read the result.

Example. Add a point at 34 % and 10.2 psia.

What it does not do. Always hypothetical, not a measurement, never saved.

Designer result

What it is. The coverage your points would give.

What it shows. Before and after coverage, cells gained, gain per test and hull area.

How to use it. Read it after adding points.

Example. 0 % to 15 % with four points.

What it does not do. It is a hypothesis, labelled as such.

ERL badge

What it is. A badge with the Evidence Readiness Level at the band centre.

What it shows. A level from 0 to 4 and its name; hover for the reason.

How to use it. Hover it.

Example. ERL 0 means no measured evidence.

What it does not do. ERL is a PYRION convention about evidence, never about safety.

ERL board

What it is. A table of habitats by fuel phase with their evidence level.

What it shows. ERL level and name per cell; hover for the reason.

How to use it. Hover a cell.

Example. ISS cabin air with solid fuel.

What it does not do. The spacesuit row is outside PSI and not evaluated.

ERL note

What it is. The sentence that says what ERL is.

What it shows. A PYRION convention for how much measured evidence exists.

How to use it. Read it before the board.

Example. ERL 0 to 4.

What it does not do. Never safety.

ERL scale

What it is. The list of ERL levels.

What it shows. What each level means.

How to use it. Read it.

Example. ERL 4 means measured at the condition.

What it does not do. It is not a safety scale.

Fuel phase

What it is. A list to choose the fuel phase of your hypothetical tests.

What it shows. Nothing by itself.

How to use it. Choose solid, liquid or gas.

Example. Pick solid.

What it does not do. It changes which investigations count as comparable.

Gap report Markdown

What it is. A link that downloads the gap report as Markdown.

What it shows. A file.

How to use it. Click it.

Example. Keep it with your notes.

What it does not do. Same content as the print view.

Gap report print view

What it is. A link to the printable gap report.

What it shows. A page you can save as PDF.

How to use it. Click it and print.

Example. Attach the PDF to a proposal.

What it does not do. It carries the fingerprint so anyone can check it.

Layer: FM2 as planned

What it is. A checkbox that draws NASA's planned FM2 tests.

What it shows. A line of four planned tests at 8.2 psia, labelled planned, not in PSI.

How to use it. Tick it.

Example. See the line and the 9 of 81 cells it covers.

What it does not do. FM2 has not been measured; its points are planned.

Layer: FM2 optimistic

What it is. A checkbox that draws FM2 with the stated pressure tolerance.

What it shows. The optimistic coverage if both ends of the tolerance are tested.

How to use it. Tick it.

Example. Compare it with FM2 as planned.

What it does not do. It is a what-if, reported separately as optimistic.

Layer: LUCI

What it is. A checkbox for the LUCI experiment.

What it shows. A note: LUCI cannot be placed because its source states no pressure.

How to use it. Tick it.

Example. Read why it has no point.

What it does not do. PYRION does not guess a pressure for it.

Minimum test points (geometric convention)

What it is. The fewest test points whose outline covers the band under PYRION's geometric convention. It is not a test programme: it holds for one material, flow velocity and sample thickness at a time, and repeats and flammability thresholds are not included.

What it shows. The corners of the band, which FM2 already contributes and which are missing.

How to use it. Read the table.

Example. The 10.2 psia corners are missing.

What it does not do. It says nothing about how many repeats a test needs.

Mission Planner page overview

What it is. The page that shows how much of the Moon Base oxygen-pressure band lies inside the region spanned by PSI test points.

What it shows. The band, today's coverage, planned experiments, the minimum test points under PYRION's geometric convention, a designer, the gap report and the ERL board.

How to use it. Read top to bottom; toggle layers; click the plot to try a hypothetical test.

Example. See that PSI covers 0 % of the band today.

What it does not do. It is evidence coverage, not a prediction or a safety assessment.

Oxygen and pressure plot

What it is. The plot of the Moon Base band. PYRION builds it from two NASA exploration atmospheres and two closing corners of its own convention; it is not a NASA design band.

What it shows. The band outline, vertices, covered cells, and layers. Click to add a hypothetical point; drag to move it.

How to use it. Hover a vertex; click inside the plot to add a point.

Example. Add three points at the corners and watch coverage change.

What it does not do. Points you add are hypothetical and are not saved.

Remove a point

What it is. A link that removes one hypothetical point.

What it shows. Nothing.

How to use it. Click remove next to a point.

Example. Remove point 2.

What it does not do. It does not touch the data.

Report fingerprint

What it is. The SHA-256 of the report data.

What it shows. 64 characters.

How to use it. Compare it with another copy of the report.

Example. Same records and band give the same 64 characters.

What it does not do. It is not a signature of authorship.

Standing label

What it is. A line above the page that says what the page is.

What it shows. PYRION proposal; evidence coverage, not a prediction or a safety assessment.

How to use it. Read it before the numbers.

Example. Quote it when you show the page.

What it does not do. It is not a button.

Vertex detail

What it is. A line under the plot that explains the vertex you point at.

What it shows. Its value as written and its source quote, or the note that PYRION chose the corner.

How to use it. Hover or focus a vertex.

Example. Hover the 8.2 psia / 34 % corner.

What it does not do. Closing corners have no source; the page says so.
