2020 rover capabilities
2020 rover capabilities Capabilities of the 2020 rover proposed by the SDT. Boxes without ‘+’ represent the recommended threshold capabilities below which the mission might not deliver sufficient value for the investment. Boxes with ‘+’ represent highest priority additions beyond the threshold capabilities. If more funding than the SDT were available, the mission could be further enhanced with either more capable instruments or additional instruments such as a weather station or additional instruments to characterize any organic matter.
