The intention is not to discover with it, but to support planet side rovers. The orbiter puts a camera in close proximity to the surface of Mars, relative to a camera taking pictures from earth.

It also places a powerful transmitter in close proximity to the planet, which allows all the rover missions it supports to have smaller, lighter transmitters built into them. This decrease in payload demand allows them more options on thier rovers; send slightly cheaper rovers, or more capabile ones for the same price as previous generations.
