Abstract

The primary objective of the MER Spirit and Opportunity Rovers is to identify and investigate rocks, outcrops, and soils that have the highest possible chance of preserving evidence of water activity on Mars. The Athena Science Instrument Payload onboard the two rovers has provided geochemical and mineralogical information that indicates a variety of aqueous processes and various degrees of alteration at the two landing sites.
