# Red Horizon: complete sources and citations

Generated deterministically from the public project source ledgers. Retrieval dates below belong to each source, not to this compilation. No live network requests are made by this compiler.

The Mars outpost, crew, failures, resource amounts, response times, flight assistance and machine rates are fictional game rules. NASA sources supply context and dated evidence. DONKI flare classes are solar-event catalog labels, not astronaut radiation doses. No NASA review or endorsement is implied.

Coverage: 204 distinct URL and record-ID pairs; 164 public URLs; 0 uncovered URLs.

Different record identifiers at the same URL are kept separately. Historical provenance omissions are marked as unknown; no units, retrieval dates or record IDs are guessed. New v3 science records must include all required provenance.

Retrieved: 2026-11-15

Units: mSv/day (dose-equivalent rate)

Gameplay interpretation: Optional unit-comparison context only.

Limitations / reading coverage: Published uncertainty retained. A derived quantity, not absorbed dose, effective organ dose or a universal Gy-to-Sv factor.

Recorded values and media metadata: claim: The same study derived 0.64 +/- 0.12 mSv/day using quality-factor weighting for that historical Mars-surface GCR environment.

### CCMC DONKI System

Source: <https://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/tools/DONKI/>

Record identifier: `DONKI system overview, Rules-of-the-Road and M2M_CATALOG event types FLR, SEP and CME; page retrieved 2026-11-15`

Status: dated archive snapshot or historical context; no website retirement implied.

Retrieved: 2026-11-15

Units: event classifications/identifiers; no astronaut dose units

Gameplay interpretation: Use a dated DONKI record as historical context only. The game's local alert is fictional and separately authored.

Limitations / reading coverage: A flare class or linked event alone lacks local particle spectra, propagation, atmosphere, shielding and tissue transport needed to calculate an astronaut dose. That nonconversion rule is a design inference, not a DONKI dose product.

Recorded values and media metadata: claim: DONKI catalogs linked space-weather observations, analyses and model outputs. Solar flares, solar energetic particle events and coronal mass ejections are distinct catalog event types. NASA identifies the information as research/prototyping quality.

Units: growth duration: days; temperature: degrees Celsius; control delay: hours; counts: sample metadata rows; transcript responses: qualitative, no expression values imported

Gameplay interpretation: A fair comparison keeps plant variety, hardware and growing conditions matched across flight and ground groups. The player checks labels before discussing a difference, then protects the fictional greenhouse.

Limitations / reading coverage: A small model-organism experiment in low Earth orbit does not establish Mars crop yield or that plants universally grow better in space. Spaceflight includes multiple exposures; these comparisons do not isolate microgravity alone or provide an astronaut radiation dose. The metadata description calls one ecotype Ler-2; the sample factors, protocol and publication use Ler-0. Both labels are retained rather than silently reconciled. The description states 48 out of 56 expression files in that release. The 56 metadata rows are not claimed to be 56 available expression files or 56 independent biological replicates. Dark-grown seedlings with supplied growth medium are not a recommendation to grow food crops without light. The associated result is transcript abundance, not plant height, edible biomass, food safety or human health.

## Audit and rebuild

`python3 tools/build_mission_citations.py --audit output/red-horizon-story-v3/citation-audit.json`

The JSON audit lists every included record and source path, URL coverage and historical missing metadata. Only the compiler's explicit ledger allowlist is read. Private account data, credentials and operational error links are excluded.
