After defining the goals of the mission and taking them into account, the first step in the design of this manned mission to Mars would be to choose a landing site that will enable the mission to fullfill its objetives.
Together with setting goals for the mission, this will be the first interactive activity that will take place in the Mars Academy.
The following is a list of documents from the Mars Academy with information and links that can help us better select a suitable landing site :
