Scientific paper

The dual Mars Exploration Rovers (MER), A and B, planned for launch in 2003, provide the planetary science community with an exciting opportunity to investigate two equatorial sites of scientific interest. Selection of key sites that will help decipher the geologic history of Mars and address the question of life on this planet is desired. Here we suggest that down-selection of sites for the MER's might lead to similar sites selected for the now scuttled 2001 lander mission: Noachian highland material (such as Libya Montes) and the Sinus Meridiani hematite deposit.
