Scientific paper

It has been demonstrated during the past years that by its configuration, extended history of water ponding and sedimentary deposition, Gusev crater is one of the most favorable sites to consider for the incoming exploration of Mars. It provides exceptional possibilities to document the evolution of water, climate changes, and possibly the evolution of life on Mars through time. Because of all these reasons, it is probably one of the most interesting sites to target for sample return missions and human exploration, but as well, it is by all means an excellent target for the Surveyor '01, in spite of the current imposed mission constraints, as we propose to demonstrate.
