InSight appears to be focussed on deep structures and the core. All the other landers look down only a few centimeters.
Is anything in planning to examine the top few tens of meters, perhaps by ground penetrating radar? I am not so interested in how Mars got the way it is, but in locating good spots for human development. For example, empty lava tubes or accessible aquifers. |
