This is where our Mars rover will land ๐ด #shorts
Oxia Planum contains one of the largest exposures of rocks on Mars that are around 3.9 billion years old and clay-rich, indicating that water once played a role here. The site sits in a wide catchment area of valley systems with the exposed rocks exhibiting different compositions, indicating a variety of deposition and wetting environments.
A European rover, Rosalind Franklin, is part of the ExoMars programme that will explore the surface of Mars. The rover will be the first mission to combine the capability to move across the surface and to study Mars at depth.

I am really looking forward to more mars landers/ rovers! Keep up the good work ESA!
Cute rover! I hope everyone who reads this has an awesome day!
Is there more information about the rover, ESA?
Planum is pronounced play-num. Stop messing around.
Thanks for sharing ESA! Exiting!
Looking forward to this. Good luck!
The location seems to be right on the northern tropic of Mars (not sure what name it has), but I guess tropics are generally close to the equator
Any reason why we are only focusing on carbon based life…or life near water. Are different perspectives being explored?
Eroupean space station is just but a fabrication by John Kennedy from ancient Aztec who brought civilization from Africa continent to America.
I think that to hold water a planet should have an electromagnetic field at its poles.
Beautiful eyes!
sure, let's keep obsessing over life on Mars when there is a huge, straight scar across the middle with NO explanation for that.
