Drilling into Mars | ExoMars Rosalind Franklin mission (episode 3)
The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover will drill deeper than any other mission has ever attempted on the Red Planet.
The third episode in the series shows how the rover will extract, collect and analyse martian samples in a high-fidelity simulation.
Rosalind Franklin will be the first rover to reach a depth of up to two metres deep below the surface, acquiring samples that have been protected from harsh surface radiation and extreme temperatures.
The drill system combines multiple precission mechanisms in an intricate automated sequence. It uses three extension rods that connect tor form a two-metre “drill string”.
As the rover drills, it will simultaneously investigate the borehole using infrared spectroscopy to study mineral composition.
The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin mission is part of Europe’s ambitious exploration journey to search for past and present signs of life on Mars.

Are you going to use a skycrane to land like Perseverance and Curiosity? Or are you going to use the more traditional airbag like for Spirit and Opportunity?
🖖
I hope we see this masterpiece launch soon
Just thinking about the distance form us to Mars is already mind boggling, but knowing that we might see first humans on Mars within a decade is so cool
Woah ! So cool graphics…So happy to watch it
Is it ok with the planet Mars to drill? Maybe ask first.
Sure is a bummer that the country responsible for delivering this beautiful rover to Mars decided to start a war right before launch 🙁
The mission was scheduled to launch in July 2020. The mission received additional funding to restart and deliver complete the mission. The award went to Thales Alenia Space and scheduled for 2028.
it will discover Lots of New Things
Why is the text so tiny! Surely I'm not the only person having difficulty reading it? It makes the video less appealing to watch!😡
Why such a tony font?
Cannot wait to see her adventures on Mars in the future with her older sisters Curiosity and Perseverance!
Will RTG be used as energy source for this mission?Or solar panel
