Robotic missions to Mars are listed and some results of each past mission are noted. What is known of the Mars environment is discussed. Mars surface features are outlined. The likely engineering properties of soils on the Martian surface are postulated based on expected soil forming mechanisms and the thermal environment found on Mars. Key questions to be answered are the effects of water, water ice, and carbon dioxide on soil behavior. Areas for future investigation and research are suggested.
