A revolutionary study, published on July 21 in the specialized journal Journal of Geophysical Research, discovered a precise area for a space mission. Experts purposefully examined three potential locations in the vast Martian plain Amazonis Planitia.
The scientific analysis identified a zone marked as AP-8, which possesses exceptional characteristics for a future space landing. The terrain stands out with exceptional evenness and homogeneity, which guarantees maximum safety during landing.
A key advantage of the chosen territory is the established underground water reserves. The presence of subsurface ice represents a critical factor for potential human presence, providing opportunities for water supply, fuel production, and maintaining living conditions.
The discovery transforms previous ideas about Martian expeditions, turning hypothetical human settlement from science fiction into a realistic scenario with specific technical parameters.
