For the next mission to Mars, NASA is being selective of their choice of landing site. They are seeking out a place with a high amount of rock diversity. It is their hope to find minerals that show evidence of water in the past in order to further learn about the water history on Mars. Images from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) are providing lots of information for the selection of the landing site.
