AcknowledgementsThe ExoMars Rosalind Franklin Mission is a partnership between ESA and NASA. The Rosalind Franklin Rover has eight instruments in its ‘Pasteur’ Payload, with Principal Investigators from seven countries all of whom we would like to thank for there support of this project. We would like to acknowledge the following funding bodies, people and institutions supporting the lead authors of this work. We thank the UK Space Agency (UK SA) for funding P. Fawdon, on grants; ST/W002736/1, ST/L00643X/1 and ST/R001413/1, MRB on grants; ST/T002913/1, ST/V001965/1, ST/R001383/1, ST/R001413/1, P. Grindrod on grants; ST/L006456/1, ST/R002355/1, ST/V002678/1 and J. Davis on grants ST/K502388/1, ST/R002355/1, ST/V002678/1 through the ongoing Aurora space exploration programme. C. Orgel was supported by the ESA Research Fellowship Program. Alessandro Frigeri: was funded by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) grant ASI-INAF number 2017-412-H.0 (ExoMars/Ma_MISS) and D. Loizeau was funded by the H2020-COMPET-2015 programme (grant 687302), C. Quantin-Nataf was supported by the French space agency CNES, I. Torres was supported by an ESA Young Graduate Traineeship, A. Nass was supported by Helmholtz Metadata Projects (#ZT-I-PF-3-008). We thank NASA and the HiRISE camera team for data collection support throughout the ExoMars landing site selection and charectorisation process. The USGS for the HiRISE DTM data and maintaining the ISIS and SOCET SET DEM workflows. The authors wish to thank the CaSSIS spacecraft and instrument engineering teams. CaSSIS is a project of the University of Bern and funded through the Swiss Space Office via ESA's PRODEX programme. The instrument hardware development was also supported by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) (ASI-INAF agreement no. I/2020-17-HH.0), INAF/Astronomical Observatory of Padova, and the Space Research Center (CBK) in Warsaw. Support from SGF (Budapest), the University of Arizona (Lunar and Planetary Lab.) and NASA are also gratefully acknowledged. Operations support from the UK Space Agency under grant ST/R003025/1 is also acknowledged. This research has made use of the USGS Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers (ISIS) Technical support for setup of the Multi-Mission Geographic Information System for concurrent team mapping was provided by F. Calef (III) and T. Soliman at NASA JPL and S. de Witte at ESA-ESTEC.
