Introduction:
Identification And Mapping Of The Surface And
Underground Water Environment On Present Mars
Are Important To Investigate The Existence Of Life And
Reserve Water Resources For Future Manned Missions.
Especially, The Recurring Slope Lineae (Rsl), Dark
Streaks Which Appear On Steep Slopes Such As The
Edge Of Craters In Specific Seasons [1], Have Been
Noticed As Important Targets As Possible Water
