When it gets near enough to the surface it lowers the wheels on cables and it gets to the surface. The rover releases solar panels and deploys a drone helicopter.The Rover has recorded and sent NASA the first ever audio from Mars. There was also a panorama photo taken. The purpose of the Rover is to study the astrobiology of the planet, and also to look for any signs of life.
