Scientific paper

This summarizes the analysis of geology and surface engineering criteria for an area on the southwestern border of Isidis Planitia. In this area basin plains adjoin volcanic plains of Syrtis Major Planum and dissected ancient highlands of Libya Montes. Previously three general categories of landing site have been discussed for this area: scarp-like terrain along the western margin of Isidis Planitia, marginal ridged plains, and terminus of a significant valley network basin draining Libya Montes. On the basis of geologic mapping and reconnaissance around the southwest perimeter, the plains marginal slopes adjacent to Libya Montes appear to best satisfy the thematic, geologic, and engineering goals and constraints of the Mars Surveyor program.
