What specific GIS analysis was used in determining Gale Crater as the landing site for the Curiosity Rover?
I'm assuming factors such as slope, elevation, ruggedness, etc were used as well as potential for finding water (what determines this).
I'm looking for a journal article (if it exists) or some technical document outlining the processes used for choosing Gale crater over other potential landing sites.
Any help would be appreciated. This is just for my own curiosity (pun intended).
