Take On Mars is a simulation video game for Windows, developed by Bohemia Interactive.

The spacecraft can be equipped with scientific instruments by the player in order to study the Martian surface and complete objectives.

Functions that a user must perform include driving to new destinations, imaging terrain, and collecting samples.

Multiple science instruments are unlocked by the player in order to study Mars and complete mission objectives.

From imagers or APXS to an arm on a lander, or a chemical battery, many small details can be changed about a vehicle to create a unique variant to the basic model.

At this point in the story, humanity has expanded out to Jupiter and are now exploring its moon Europa in search for potential subsurface life.
