Abstract
In this study, the author outlines rock slope stability issues in Mars through the images provided by Mars Rovers of NASA and investigates the rock slope stability issues with the consideration of the various conditions such as layering, discontinuous nature of rock mass, overhanging, impact, vibrations as well as precarious rock blocks. Rock slope failures in Mars are categorized with references to those on Earth and the fundamental mechanisms are summarized. It is shown that. the methods developed for rock slopes can be utilized with due considerations of environmental and gravitational differences using the principles of Rock Mechanics. The outcomes of these investigations are presented and discussed in this contribution.
