Scientific paper

The 2003 Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) are tasked with exploring a region of Mars where conditions may be favorable for preserving evidence of pre-biotic or biotic processes. In particular, the landing sites are expected to possess clear evidence for surface processes involving ancient water. Three sites have been identified which satisfy the engineering requirements for these missions. Two of the sites are in the Terra Meridiani area of Mars while the third is on the floor of Eos Chasma in the Valles Marineris canyon system. Two of the three sites are close to areas previously recommended by others for the MS01 landing site.
