Destination Catalog

One Physical Home · Cross-Link Everywhere Else

The catalog lists destination records without cloning whole branches into multiple folders. It is the cleanup reference for Space Systems routing.

Exoplanet Survey Radius Strategy

0–100 lyLocal Reconnaissance Ring

Primary map and mission-priority queue. Keep this visual layer selective and readable.

100–250 lyExtended Candidate Ring

Add credible rocky, Earth-size, temperate, ocean-world, and atmosphere-bearing candidates to the catalog.

250–1,000 lyResearch Catalog Ring

Observatory targets and comparative planetary science. Not near-term mission priorities.

>1,000 lyReference Archive

Exceptional science targets, historical discoveries, and narrative reference destinations.

Catalog rule: “Earth-size,” “rocky,” “temperate,” and “habitable-zone” are separate evidence labels. None by itself means Earth-like, inhabited, or safe for settlement.

LHS 1140 b — 2026 Atmospheric Update

Current ClassificationRetained atmosphere detected
Observed SignatureEscaping helium in the upper atmosphere
Mission MeaningPriority atmospheric-characterization target
Still UnknownLower-atmosphere composition, surface state, ocean state, and habitability

The detection strengthens LHS 1140 b as a science-first destination, but it does not establish an Earth-like surface or evidence of life. Keep the system in the robotic probe-audit class.
