What were the objectives of this mission?

I’ll admit that this launch kind of snuck up on me. I didn’t know anything about it until my son was assigned a school project a few weeks ago. In my mind, I thought, “Cool. Glad we are continuing space exploration,” but then it seemed like the only objective was to go farther from the earth than anyone had done before, but not really by all that much (~4,000 miles).
