It is planned that the tug will be equipped with electric motors. The main tasks of the tug should be the delivery and dispersal of cargo in orbits around Mars. After this, the ship can be used as a means of relay and navigation.

Perhaps, as part of the first mission, the carrier will be launched with a payload for research and monitoring the state of the atmosphere of Mars, as well as equipped to obtain high-quality images of the Red Planet.
