Initially expected to launch in 2022, the #ExoMars mission is currently scheduled for launch in 📆 2028. One of the most important elements of the mission is the system designed to slow the descent module from 21,000 km/h to a soft landing 🪂 on the surface of #Mars. europeanspaceflight.com/esa-re

🔴 L'ESA a effectué dernièrement un test de déploiement du 2e étage de parachute pour la mission #Exomars. Une maquette de la plateforme d'atterrissage d'ExoMars a été larguée à 30 km d'altitude et le parachute de 35 m de diamètre s'est déployé.
Sur Mars, il a pour objectif de décélérer la sonde à des vitesses supersoniques le module de descente de 21 000 km/h en 6 minutes

ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover will have a European landing platform

The European Space Agency (ESA) has selected Airbus to design and build the landing platform for the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover. In 2028, ESA will launch this ambitious exploration mission to search for past and present signs of life on Mars.

Media RelationsWarum der Mars rot sein könnteEin internationales Forschungsteam unter der Leitung der Universität Bern und der Brown University im US-Bundesstaat Rhode Island hat möglicherweise das Geheimnis der rötlichen Farbe des Mars gelüftet. Das Team identifizierte das wasserreiche Eisenmineral Ferrihydrit als Hauptursache des charakteristischen, rötlichen Marsstaubs. Diese Entdeckung könnte nicht nur die Farbe des Planeten erklären, sondern auch auf eine feuchtere, potenziell bewohnbare Vergangenheit des Mars hinweisen.

[#ExoMars : report and update] The postponement of the ExoMars mission has given IRAP scientists the opportunity to update some of the components of the #Raman laser #spectrometer.

The spectrometer will analyse #samples taken from beneath the surface of #Mars that have been ground and powdered beforehand. It will be able to identify the #organic compounds present and will contribute to the search for #microbial life.

Launch scheduled for October 2028! Stay tuned 😜

[#TechnicalControl for the #ExoMars rover!] Delayed several times, the ESA's ExoMars mission is set to launch in 2028. Four years during which all the #instruments will be checked ... or even replaced!

For example, various components of the Raman Laser Spectrometer (RLS) have just been replaced. The upgrade ensures that the laser remains focused and facilitates photon collection for the spectral - and therefore mineralogical - analysis of #Mars' surface.
