Part of the reason for the heft is the suite of instruments it carries, including the largest diameter telescopic camera ever sent to another planet; ground-penetrating radar able to look beneath the Martian surface; and a climate sounder, able to study the atmosphere in both visible and invisible spectra. The ship will also carry a new-generation navigational camera and communications system, to be field-tested for the first time...
