In 2028, European Space Agency will embark on its most ambitious exploration venture to find signs of life on Mars — the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin mission. 🤖 While the spacecraft won’t take the fastest route, the timing is crucial for the rover’s science mission and survival at the Red

KA-BOOM! 💥 A space rock smashed into Mars creating this 21-m impact crater and sent seismic waves that reached NASA InSight in 2021. #AI helped researchers discover that: ☄️ Meteors strike Mars 2.5 times more often than expected. 🛣️ There is a martian "seismic highway" where

⚙️ Drilling deeper into Mars than ever before with the ESA_ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover. 🤖 Its drill will dig 2 metres below the surface, where signs of ancient life could be preserved. 👇🧵 For some of the rover's DIY tricks.

Rosalind's drill system is like no other on Earth. Some rover specs for Mars exploration: 🕳️ Depth: 2 metres. ⚙️ Rods: x3. 🔋 Power: 100 watts. 🔄 Revolutions: 60 per minute. 💪 Strength: Can penetrate surfaces as hard as marble. 👀 Vision: Equipped with an infrared map to study

Look again at that dot. That's Mars. 🔴

As the #HeraMission flew past planet Mars, we kept a close watch on Oxia Planum, the landing site for the ESA_ExoMars Rosalind Franklin mission. Can you spot the area where Europe plans to land a rover to search for signs of life on Mars in 2030?

📈 The ESA_ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover will make use of this fleet to send precious science data back to Earth. 🛰️ The orbiters are essential for returning imagery and science data from the rovers on Mars, which can be as far as 400 million km away. 🌐 The Mars Relay
