Even by the very, very low standards of Canadian science reporting, this is a badly written article. Here's some actual, useful information about the mission:

• The rover would be the first to carry a neutron spectrometer to the south polar region, which will be able to detect hydrogen (in or out of water molecules) and do some basic mineralogy of the surface
• Hydrogen detection would be followed up with UV analysis (a first for a surface mission)
• Do some good old proper rock-sniffing (mineral detection) with a space Christmas tree array of coloured LEDs (sincere apologies to r/fuckyourheadlights)
• Work on its polar tan, Canadian-style (while keeping track of the radiation dose it receives from UV, cosmic rays and the like)
• The one instrument with a proper French name (LAFORGE) comes from... Maryland, namely the Pentagon's research arm Applied Physics Lab at Johns Hopkins. This will be a sort of thermal sensor that will give the rover night vision and allow it to determine the stability and consistency of the surfaces it will be driving on.

The last rover to land, Chang'e 4, carried a similar neutron spectrometer and radiation detector, but the other instruments are fairly new to Lunar surface science, and this mission could prove very useful if successful (the same set of instruments would work well on comets, or the poles of Mercury, for example).
