An investigation is in progress to evaluate the bearing capacity, trafficability, and shear strength of Martian regolith by analysis of Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) photographs and laser altimeter (MOLA) measurements. Types of analysis include computer modeling of landslides, natural slope stability calculations, angle of repose measurements, depth of boulder tracks, and height of vertical slopes. Ongoing analysis of soil mechanics data is necessary to better define the design parameters needed for future landing site selection and to engineer equipment for interaction with the Martian surface. The focus of the current investigation is the evaluation of high priority landing sites for the 2003 Mars Exploration Rover mission.
