Schematic showing six Mars magnetism science objectives. 1. Determine the history of the Martian dynamo field’s intensity. 2. Determine the history of the Martian dynamo field’s direction. 3. Test the hypothesis that Mars experienced plate tectonics or true polar wander. 4. Constrain the thermal and aqueous alteration history of the samples. 5. Identify sources of Martian crustal magnetization. 6. Characterize sedimentary and magmatic processes on Mars
