Selecting Erosion- and Deposition-Dominated Zones in the Jezero Delta Using a Water Flow Model for Targeting Future In Situ Mars Surface Missions

Steinmann, Vilmos; Kereszturi, Ákos; Bahia, Rickbir Singh

Identifying surface sites with significant astrobiological potential on Mars requires a comprehensive understanding of past geological processes and conditions there, including the shallow subsurface region. Numerical modelling could distinguish between regions dominated by erosion and those characterized by sediment accumulation in ancient wet en…

Water Ice Resources on the Shallow Subsurface of Mars: Indications to Rover-Mounted Radar Observation

Orosei, Roberto; Zheng, Naihuan; Ding, Chunyu +1 more

The planet Mars is the most probable among the terrestrial planets in our solar system to support human settlement or colonization in the future. The detection of water ice or liquid water on the shallow subsurface of Mars is a crucial scientific objective for both the Chinese Tianwen-1 and United States Mars 2020 missions, which were launched in …
