So we have higher resolution, but we don't see down quite as far.

This radar would not see to the base of the polar cap.

but we don't have to, we're only interested in what the rover is driving over.

So we'll penetrate maybe 10 to 100 meters, and we kind of expect most places will penetrate maybe 20 meters or something, not that far.

And we have five to 10 centimeter vertical resolution, so we'll be able to see things at pretty fine layers.

Here's some of the other instruments.

I don't really want to go through them all in detail, but we've got like a camera, Mastcam-Z.

So this is going to be the same camera that's on Curiosity, except we'll have a zoom mode.

So it'll be like the camera that you have where you can click the little zoom and go and you can zoom in on things.

So that'll be pretty interesting.

We have some wind sensors and atmospheric measurements.

We have a couple of different spectroscopy options.

So SuperCam will do laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.

So if you're a fan of Curiosity, you know it's got a laser and it shoots stuff with a laser.

then it measures the spectral signature.

So we have a laser too, not to be outdone.

We have a microscopic imager.

And we have like pixel, we'll look at the X-ray diffraction.

So we have a lot of different tools that we'll be able to look at rocks.

And so what we're gonna be looking for is, first of all, environments that look like they were habitable.
