Consequences of a completely friction less surface with gravity like moon

In the year 2588, ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) along with collaboration of NASA had discovered a new planet named Accio several light years farther than Pluto. Scientists have computed following facts after tremendous research:

1. This planet has almost same configuration of atmosphere composition like that of Moon.
2. This planet's gravity is exactly same as our Moon.
3. No trace of life has been observed.

Finally, in 2592, they send a rover to examine the surface characteristics of this planet.

Question: In my story, I want this planet's surface to be completely frictionless. But as mentioned above, this planet has gravity similar to that of the moon. Considering these two facts, what will happen to rover when it lands on the surface?

1. Will it keep on moving without any energy
2. Will rover start jumping infinite times
3. Can rover be able to dig the land and root itself?
4. How would be the atmospheric configuration near the surface of this planet?
