♤ The Seven Payloads are:-

♤ Mastcam-Z : It is an advanced camera system with panoramic view, zoom and stereoscopic vision. The zoom in particular is expected to be useful for target selection and rover navigation. These cameras will function as main eyes of the rover.

♤ SuperCam: From France, it is an imaging sensor that will analyze chemical compounds and minerals. It has a laser to determine the elemental composition of any compound from 20 feet distance.

♤ MEDA or Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer: From Spain, it is a pack of sensors to measure atmospheric conditions. The sensors will measure temperature, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity and dust size and shape. It will also measure solar radiation cycles.

♤ RIMFAX or Radar Imager for Mars’ Subsurface Exploration: From Norway, it is a radar system that will plow into the ground and provide subsurface structure data.

♤ PIXL or Planetary Instrument for X-ray Lithochemistry: From NASA, it is an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and hi-res imager for determining elemental composition of the surface of Mars.

♤ MOXIE or The Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment: From Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it is an experiment with an objective to produce oxygen from Martian carbon dioxide. The Martian atmosphere comprises about 96% carbon dioxide, and the MOXIE device can turn it into pure oxygen and carbon monoxide. Data from this experiment will help researchers design instruments capable of generating oxygen on Mars.

♤ SHERLOC or Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman & Luminescence for Organics and Chemicals: From NASA, it is a spectrometer equipped with a UV laser for finding organic compounds and other minerals. This is the first time a Raman spectrometer will be sent to the Martian surface.
