GANGOTRI mission concept on the glacial key to the Amazonian climate of Mars

GANGOTRI goals consist of (1) understanding climate-driven processes of midlatitudinal glaciers as a key H2O reservoir within Mars’s critical zone; (2) determining the habitability and biomarker preservation potential of young Martian glaciations; and (3) understanding the utility of glacial ice as an in situ resource.
