⚙️ Drilling deeper into Mars than ever before with the ESA_ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover. 🤖 Its drill will dig 2 metres below the surface, where signs of ancient life could be preserved. 👇🧵 For some of the rover's DIY tricks.

Rosalind's drill system is like no other on Earth. Some rover specs for Mars exploration: 🕳️ Depth: 2 metres. ⚙️ Rods: x3. 🔋 Power: 100 watts. 🔄 Revolutions: 60 per minute. 💪 Strength: Can penetrate surfaces as hard as marble. 👀 Vision: Equipped with an infrared map to study

As the #HeraMission flew past planet Mars, we kept a close watch on Oxia Planum, the landing site for the ESA_ExoMars Rosalind Franklin mission. Can you spot the area where Europe plans to land a rover to search for signs of life on Mars in 2030?
