NASA Is Mapping Potential Mars Landing Sites By Studying Shallow Subsurface Ice, Some Just 30–60 cm Deep. Ice Will Be Crucial For Future Astronauts To Harvest Local Ice For Drinking Water & Rocket Fuel Through In Situ Resource Utilization. Data From MRO And Odyssey Highlight Arcadia Planitia As A Promising Landing Site With Accessible Ice.
