After the success of the EXOMARS ROVER presentation at ILA/Berlin in May this year, another successful presentation has been taken place yesterday at the PRAC press conference with EADS ASTRIUM on the BBC. Considering, AOES Medialab’s design of the EXOMARS rover , the industry is now trying to turn dream into reality.
The large rover and its deployment on the surface of Mars are probably the most challenging elements of the ExoMars mission, currently slated for launch in 2011, which will search for traces of life on and underneath the surface of Mars. The rover will carry a payload, dubbed Pasteur, and will be equipped with a drilling system that will reach up to two metres below the Martian surface.
