(Composition of the atmosphere of Venus below the clouds, chapter 9) Thus the total amount of water would then become about $5.9 \times 10^{15} \text{ kg }$. … So almost all of the water must be outside the clouds ! …

The thickness of the deposit ranges from about 80 meters to about 170 meters with a composition that's 50 to 85 percent water ice, mixed with dust or rocky particles. … If so, the low regions of Hellas Planitia could have transient liquid water on the surface and that would have a positive feedback on the climate in that region. …

It is generally accepted that once there was running water on the surface of Mars. Can it be determined from remote sensing data from space where the biggest, largest and longest ones were? …

From NASA's Treasure Map for Water Ice on Mars: "You wouldn't need a backhoe to dig up this ice. …

VIPER is a lunar rover by NASA that will be tasked with prospecting for lunar resources, especially water ice, in permanently shadowed areas in the lunar south pole region. …

This presentation of the Program of the Second MSL Landing Site Workshop shows an image of a "crater" near the equator that is 2.4 km wide and 750 meters deep ! On the Mars Image explorer you can z …

But it has thick sulfuric acid clouds and there's almost no water and no oxygen. … Or could a MMRTG deliver sufficient heat to create water and oxygen this way ? …

The thickness of the deposit ranges from 80 to 170 meters with a composition that's 50 to 85 % water ice, mixed with dust and rocky particles. … Question: if so much water ice could have been spread out on the surface of Mars by uncovering the ice deposit, would that not cover a large portion of the regolith and could not the water vapour in the …

A good reason for putting that much CO$_2$ into the atmosphere would be that liquid water could stay during summer days on the surface of the low regions on Mars. …

Its diameter is 490 m. and it is slightly denser than water and therefore the predicted macroporosity is about 40 %, suggesting its interior has a rubble pile structure. … -37 and +6 °C, and compared with the lower than -200 °C temperatures measured in the cold traps near the south pole of the Moon, mining the ice there would be much more difficult then extracting the water …

In an experiment 2-3 centimeters of silica aerogel allowed simulated Martian sunlight to heat the surface beneath it by up to 65$⁰$ C, enough to raise temperatures on the martian surface and melt water … As a consequence of the thickening atmosphere it would get somewhat warmer on Mars, allowing ground water ice to melt on summer days and maybe (who knows ?) …

Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU The map above shows underground water ice on Mars, it's from the article NASA's Treasure Map for Water Ice on Mars. … For example, there are two regions next to each other, one rather dusty with water ice 20 cm below the surface and the other almost free of dust but with water ice 30 cm below its surface. …

Because the availability of water and energy are among the most important factors that would determine such a choice, can it be estimated at what depth boring for water near the equator, together with … ]1 NASA's Treasure Map for Water Ice on Mars shows us the image above with underground water ice on Mars at varying depth at about 40⁰ latitude and higher. …
