ground-penetrating radar, a mineral-mapping spectrometer and a sounding instrument
to examine the atmosphere. These science instruments are the High Resolution
Imaging Science Experiment, the Context Camera, the Mars Color Imager, the Shallow
Subsurface Radar, the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars and
the Mars Climate Sounder.
