Solis Planum, a highly cratered and faulted plain, lies to the east of the landing site and Claritas Fossae runs through the site. Claritas Fossae is an intense fracture zone south of Tharsis, part of the extensive array of roughly radiant fractures surrounding the Tharsis Bulge. These formations intersect at the landing site: highly cratered and faulted plains of the lower member of the Syria Planum Formation, a highly deformed terrain material, and younger fractured material.
Scientific Rationale

Objectives
Lower member of Syria Planum Fm (Hsl); older fractured flows (Hf); basement material (Nb).
Potential Problems
