The Mars 2020 Rover Mission (M2020) is characterized by long-range traverses between scientific Regions Of Interest (ROIs), as well as the demanding requirement on the distance and time for the inter-ROI traverses. As a result, surface traversability is one of the major driving factors for the landing site selection of M2020. With the newly developed Mars Terrain Traversability analysis Tools (MTTT), we performed traversability analysis of the eight candidate landing sites with an unprecedented granularity. This paper describes the MTTT analysis capabilities, as well as how the MTTT capabilities were used to down-select from eight to three candidate landing sites for further evaluation.
