SPECTROMETER AND MICRO-IMAGER SUITE (SUPERCAM)

| TYPE |
|
| DESCRIPTION |
SuperCam is an integrated multi-sensor remote-sensing instrument carried aboard the Mars 2020 rover. It implements four spectroscopic techniques to remotely measure properties of materials on Mars. These include: (1) Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), (2) Raman spectroscopy, (3) Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, and (4) Passive spectroscopy - Visible and Infrared spectrometer (VIS IR). SuperCam also includes a telescopic color context camera, the Remote Micro-Imager (RMI), which is principally used to document the sites of remote spectroscopy measurements. Finally, the instrument suite also includes a microphone, which is used primarily to measure the pressure wave produced by the generation of plasma at a LIBS target.
