2 Mars Science Laboratory Landing Site Workshop 1 Xanthe-Hellas-Elysium-Isidis LSC / 01 / 06/06 NMMNHS 2 Multiple site Strategy of this Presentation a. Explore several areas to Provide internal assessment of merits Provide internal assessment of merits Increase number of sites considered initially Increase number of sites considered initially Assess two classes of site Assess two classes of site - observed aqueous-related sediments - inferred thermal chemistry potential b. Stress areas with diversity to provide Maximum opportunities for diverse science Maximum opportunities for diverse science Potential long-term science discoveries Potential long-term science discoveries Broad time-stratigraphic, diverse chem/min/lithologies Broad time-stratigraphic, diverse chem/min/lithologies c. Stress areas with past habitibility and biotic/pre-biotic chemistries d. Explore one very low elevation site Resistant to EDL -∆H revisions Resistant to EDL -∆H revisions Provide low elevation radiation data point Provide low elevation radiation data point Begin assessing areas for future manned exploration Begin assessing areas for future manned exploration
