• Looking for habitability: 
  • rover will have to identify all past environments that have capability to support microbial life.
• Seeking biosignatures: 
  • Search and find out any and all possible past microbial life in habitable environments and this can be more specifically be in all types of special rocks which have been kwn to keep life signs preserved in rocks for s.
  • Caching samples: 
    • rover also needs to collect core rock and "soil" samples and store m on Martian surface.
