The blue areas on this map of Mars are regions where NASA missions have detected subsurface water ice (from the equator to 60 degrees north latitude). Scientists can use the map \u2013 part of the Subsurface Water Ice Mapping project \u2013 to decide where the first astronauts to set foot on the Red Planet should land.<\/div>\n

These Mars global maps show the likely distribution of water ice buried within the upper 3 feet (1 meter) of the planet\u2019s surface and represent the latest data from the SWIM project. Buried ice will be a vital resource for astronauts on Mars, serving as drinking water and a key ingredient for rocket fuel.<\/div>\n
