The Perseverance rover has four science objectives that support the Mars Exploration Program's science goals:[4]
- Looking for habitability: identify past environments capable of supporting microbial life.
- Seeking biosignatures: seek signs of possible past microbial life in those habitable environments, particularly in special rocks known to preserve signs over time.
- Caching samples: collect core rock and "soil" samples and store them on the Martian surface.
- Preparing for humans: test oxygen production from the Martian atmosphere.
