Surface Platform Science Priorities:Priority 1• Context imaging.• Long term climate monitoring and atmospheric investigations.

Priority 2• Studies of subsurface water distribution at the landing site.• Atmosphere-surface volatile exchange.• Monitoring of radiation environment at the landing site.• Study of Internal Mars structure (geophysics).

Priority 3• Surface soil sampling at the landing site and sample analysis (also in Rover)• Search for traces of organics at the landing site (also in Rover).
