Mars Surface Composition Detector (MarSCoDe) is a scientific payload onboard the Mars rover of China’s Tianwen-1 mission. With the capability of 1.6∼7 m remote detection and analysis, MarSCoDe instrument suite consists of a two dimensional pointing mirror and an optical head outside the rover cabin, a Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) spectrometer and a Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) spectrometer collectively covering 240∼2400 nm and a master controller unit inside the rover body, calibration target sets, optical fibers and power cables connecting the internal and external units. Combining the techniques of active LIBS, passive SWIR and micro-imaging, MarSCoDe provides functions including elemental composition discrimination and quantitative determination, classification of rock and soil characteristics, sample texture imaging and characterization of plasma-excited area. This paper introduces MarSCoDe mainly in terms of scientific objectives, design requirements, assembly and implementation, spectral and radiation calibration, and performance verification. The LIBS laser irradiance on the target can soundly exceed 10 MW/mm2, and the performance of the LIBS module operated at different temperatures has been tested. The field of view of the SWIR spectrometer is 36.5 mrad. The micro-imager can extract the central pixel area of 320 × 320 and 1024 × 1024, and the former is binned into 64 × 64. The 2D pointing mirror has a wide forward detection range and a narrow backward calibration range, with the pointing pitch accuracy better than 0.133°.
