List of techniques employed by SuperCam for remote sensing. See text for explanations

Technique	Purpose	Distancea	Footprint
LIBS	Quantitative elemental abundances	To 7 m	0.25–0.45 mm
Raman	Identification of Raman-bright minerals, organics	To $\sim 7\text{m}$	0.74 mradb
TRL	Identification of organics, minerals, REEsc	To $\sim 7\text{m}$	0.74 mrad
VISIRd	Identification of minerals; atmospheric studies	To km	VIS: 0.74 mrad IR: 1.2 mrad
RMI	Rock textures, contexts	To km	18.8 mrad
Microphone	Physical properties of rocks, atmospheric studies	To ∼4 m	N/A

^aMinimum distance, all optical cases: 1.05 m from the MU, positioned $\sim 2\text{m}$ above flat ground

^bmrad = milliradians

^cREEs = rare-earth elements

^dVIS spectral range is 0.40–0.85 μm; IR range is 1.3–2.6 μm; other ranges are given in the text
