The teams should conduct these analyses on both soil and atmosphere: sub-surface temperature, humidity, pH and atmospheric pressure. The teams can do other analysis depending on their choice. Teams should conduct only those tests and analysis which provide conclusive results in the allotted mission time of 30 minutes.
the first para has this:
The objective is to identify and characterise the sites for their capabilities to support microbial life and seek signs of extinct or extant life in those sites. The rover may use cameras or other passive instruments to investigate the designated area and collect samples using mechanical methods. The rover must have at least one life-detection capability instrument or assay of the team’s choice.
I cant quite think of ways to check capabilities for microbial life....

Well this test PC has 16GB and perfmon is showing 8GB used already with nothing but MatLab and Simulink running. On an 8GB PC you'd be out of memory by now.
