the instrument is the same, the official goals are not
Chris and Mark gave you the info to back that up. As for you silly claims the old site said "In the next 20 years, NASA hopes to send astronauts to Mars. These astronauts will be living on the surface of Mars for 500 days. What dangers do they face? What can we do to help them prepare?". This was an instrument designed to help prepare for a manned misison not one to rule it out.
