ExoMars Rover: from concept to reality
The second part of the ExoMars programme is ongoing.
In Stevenage, UK, a rover is being built that will carry a drill and a suite of instruments dedicated to exobiology and geochemistry research. It will be the first mission to combine the capability to move across the surface and to study Mars at depth.
The primary goal of the ExoMars programme is to address the question of whether life has ever existed on the red planet.
The first part of the programme was launched in March 2016 with the Trace Gas Orbiter. The second part is planned for launch in 2020 and comprises the rover and surface science platform
ExoMars is a joint endeavour between ESA and the Russian space agency, Roscosmos.

Brilliant work esa, hopefully the rover can do a joint sample return mission with nasa…
Dont crash the rover on Mars This is Exomars 3 cmon
How do you want to clean the solar panels from dust or is this a not so big issue?
DREAM+PEOPLE+SPACE SCIENCE = ESA >sure all of ours dream come's to reality by esa*
#ESA is this possible that…..we can send a desert reptile to the mars with the rover ???
👍👍👍
Another redundant Mars mission. NASA has 3 active rovers on Mars that can do everything this thing can, or is this a European "me too" mission? Oh well good luck anyway as really only Americans have know how to land on the planet most other nations have failed.
Solar power on Mars lol Life expectancy: 3 years
EESA/NASA I LOVE it. I have a eesa a sweater. And a playmobil, rocket and spaceshuttel.
How do you want to land the rover?
Hmmmm, couldn’t it be that the rover meets SpaceX-Astronauts there? 😉
I dont trust the Russian lander! The Russians haven't built something like this (that works) in quite some time!
Por favor subtitulos en español.
I'm worried about the small wheels.
