ExoMars rover science laboratory fitted
The ExoMars rover’s Analytical Laboratory Drawer (ALD) was integrated into the rover at Airbus, Stevenage, UK in May 2019. The video is shown at 18 times real speed; in reality the sequence of events took around 11.5 minutes.
The ExoMars rover, named Rosalind Franklin, will be the first of its kind to both roam the Mars surface and to study it at depth. Rosalind Franklin will drill down to two metres into the surface to sample the soil, analyse its composition and search for evidence of past – and perhaps even present – life hidden underground. A miniature laboratory inside the rover – the ALD – will analyse the samples with three different instruments, with some baked in the onboard oven to release gases for analysis, a technique used to search for traces of organic compounds.
The rover will relay its data back to Earth via the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, which is already conducting its science mission from Mars orbit.
The ExoMars programme is a joint endeavour between ESA and Roscosmos.

This is such a nerve wrecking process. Keep up the good work over there at esa!
Thank you, ESA! You are working so hard for human progress!
Let's go !
That music. Too perfect. XD
wayyyyyyy too fast though
A toque do piano ….vimos mais um incrivel projecto o Rover Rosalind a ser construído para missão a Marte!! A responsabilidade e expectativas dos homens vestidos de branco têm para que tudo fique a funcionar a 100% e ser um sucesso!!?!…mais um passo na odisseia de Marte …esse planeta vermelho fascinante!!
Wonderful mission, great video, amazing choice of music, good job ESA
Nice
I was imagining Benny Hill music for this one.
I hope this lands.
Good news 👍
Your work and music both have perfect combination
My Question! Why do you have built satellite as big as bus when computer cellphone fit in the palm of your hand and do twice as much work and do not weight as much as bus satellite
May I use a portion of this video (only a few seconds) to be used in my video as a visual illustration, I will include credit in the video and link in my video description.
