Laser
| The super cam is located in the main head of the rover and it fires a laser at mineral targets that are beyond the reach of the rovers robotic arms. |
Camera
| There is a total of 23 cameras on the rover, 9 of the cameras are for engineering, 7 of the cameras are sciences cameras and 7 of them are landing, descending and entry cameras. |
Shovel, rock pick,drill
| These are called the sample handling, the rover will gather samples from the rocks and soil using its drill. The rover will then store the sample in tubes on the surface. |
