ESA’s Rosalind Franklin rover could touch down in the remains of a vast ancient water system on Mars, after new orbital mapping showed that clay-rich deposits at its landing site extend far beyond previous estimates.
The rover is due to land at Oxia Planum, a low-lying region near the boundary between Mars’s southern highlands and northern lowlands, where clay minerals preserve evidence of a time when liquid water was active
