Geology of the Mer 2003 “elysium” Candidate Landing Site;
Introduction. The NASA Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Project is considering a landing-site ellipse designated EP78B2 in southeastern Utopia Planitia, southwest of Elysium Mons. This ellipse is centered at 11.73N, 123.96E (planetocentric coordinates) and is 155 km long and 16 km wide, has its major axis oriented N86W, and covers ~1640 km 2. The site appears to be relatively safe for a MER landing...
متن کاملThe geology of the Viking Lander 2 site revisited
Reevaluating the geologic history of the prior Mars landing sites provides important ground truth for recent and ongoing orbital missions. At the Viking 2 Lander (VL2) site, topographic measurements of relict landforms indicate that at least 100 m of sedimentary mantle material has been stripped away. The observed paucity of impact craters <100 m in diameter suggests that resurfacing processes ...
متن کاملREGIONAL GEOLOGY AND ROCK DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE MARS PHOENIX LANDING SITE. T. Heet
Introduction: In May 2008 the Phoenix Lander descended into the north polar region of Mars. It landed at 68.22 N, 234.25 E in a shallow valley about 20 km west of a 10 km crater named Heimdall. Phoenix imaged local geomorphology, determined local ice table depth and analyzed 19 soil samples from within a ~15 m 2 work volume. Important to
متن کاملLanding Site Suitability Models
Introduction: We have explored the use of GIS suitability models for the screening and analyzing of potential sites for Mars landers using engineering and scientific constraints in an iterative manner. While initially performed on locally held data sets, these analyses have now been extended to use widely distributed data from standardized Web Mapping Servers (WMS) [1]. The ability to exploit a...
