Scientific paper
One of the original objectives of the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC), as proposed in 1985, was to acquire observations to be used in assessing future spacecraft landing sites. Images obtained by the Mars Global Surveyor MOC since March 1999 provide the highest resolution views (1.5-4.5 m/pixel) of the planet ever seen. We have been examining these new data to develop a general view of what Mars is like at meter-scale within the latitudes and elevations that are accessible to the Mars Surveyor 2001 lander. Our goal is to provide guidance to the 2001 landing site selection process, rather than to use MOC images to recommend a specific landing site.
