A pleasure to talk on ‘Looking for life on Mars and habitability on icy moons’ at Ewell Astronomical Society last night, partly on ExoMars PanCam and ESA_ExoMars, ESA's Juice mission, NASA Europa Clipper etc. Thanks for the interest and great questions!

Fun to speak at Flamsteed Astronomy Society astronomical society tonight on Looking for life on Mars with ESA_ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover and ExoMars PanCam, after another talk at Marlborough College on 26 Nov and visiting Taiwan & several talks last week

Lucky to see some of the planetary parade after sunset last night ~1840 from Guildford, see phone pics - Mars, Jupiter, Venus clearly visible, Saturn too low and cloud near horizon. Humbling to think we’ve been involved in instruments to 5 of the 7 planets on display this week

⚙️ 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
