Phil StookeRemember HEM-SAG? It looked at human landing sites on Mars, but each landing went to a different place. In October 2015 A workshop on Human Landing Sites was held at LPI near Houston. These were a different kind of site where successive landings would build up infrastructure. This map shows the global distribution, quite widely scattered. Several were at old landing sites: VIking 1 (site 9), Spirit (21), Opportunity (40), Curiosity (17). <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#maps</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mars</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/marslandingsites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#marslandingsites</a>

Phil StookeThere were lots of sites and several meetings to discuss them. This map summarizes the process and you can see people were busy! I won't look at all of these ideas in detail here. We might be back to doing this in coming years as the new Mars version of CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) gets going. New ideas, new locations. Rather than look at more of those ideas I will jump to 2015 and a study of human exploration zones.
