Abstract
Deductions as to the habitability of Mars, of great importance in planning for space explorations, must take account of local variations, as well as the harsh, average features of the planet. For example, substantial moisture may be frozen in the subsoil, moisture and warmth being available through localized geothermal activity. Models of this kind pose specific questions for high-resolution reconnaissance in planetary flyby missions.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
