Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) has been contributing a number of new results that change our picture of Mars. They raise the prospect of a more active planet than had been suspected by some workers, and include a wide range of landing site ages, exhumed ancient terrains, and ongoing geothermal activity creating sporadic underground aquifers that might offer habitats for microbial life, either in the present or past. Recent reports in Nature' enhance the possibility that microbes could survive long dormant states in such environments. This paper lists some such results and their influence on landing site selection.
