Odyssey I Landing Site

Description

Five astronauts brave the first journey to an extrasolar planet, where the worst dangers are just out of sight.

As the first mission to an alien planet known to harbor life, Odyssey I aimed for the most biodiverse area that could be approached by shuttle. The goal was to gather as many diverse samples as possible, saving in-depth study for future missions. All samples returned to Earth were dead and preserved, and most survived the trip without too much degredation. Live sample return would not be attempted until future missions, ideally Odyssey II or, if that failed, Odyssey III.

So, just confirming, how does one determine east and west on Ilion? Granted, there's a certain way the planet is oriented on maps, but I wonder, given that it's a tidally locked planet, which way the magnetic compass points...and which way it orbits around Barnard...
