The present engineering constraints imposed on the Mars Pathfinder mission leave only three broad regions available for site selection: Amazonis, Chryse, and Isidis Planitia. Because of the knowledge gained by the Viking 1 mission, Chryse Planitia would make an ideal primary landing site. Geological characteristics of Isidis Planitia are discussed with a view to making it a back-up landing site.
