Team MSSL giving the camera a test run before we welcome visitors! Come and get your photo taken by the Mars camera and printed for you to take home!

When you go to Mars, you will need a map. And not just any map, but the best map a rover could possibly need. 🗺️

European scientists have pieced together the most detailed geologic map of Oxia Planum – the landing site for European Space Agency's Rosalind Franklin rover on the Red Planet.

#MarsWeek24 Land on a lecture from MullardSpaceScience about Looking for Life on Mars with European Space Agency Rosalind Franklin rover! 8 March 2024 11:00 GMT bit.ly/3V1TJal

…and this on Friday at 1100 on looking for life on Mars, including ESA_ExoMars, ExoMars PanCam and more eventbrite.co.uk/e/mars-week-20…

ESERO-UK Mars Day is here! We are happy to support Mars Hour from 1000 with Andrew Coates, science in space with Catherine Regan 🛰 at 1235 and engineering in space with Barry Whiteside at 1345! Other Mars Week events include UCL/BBK Planetary Science News debate Thursday and Mars lecture Friday 1100

Great to be at the ESA_ExoMars Science Working team meeting this week representing our wonderful Rosalind Franklin ExoMars PanCam team. Can’t wait for 2028!

This is Mars as you have never seen it before.

🍿 Enjoy the trailer of the #ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover mission – Europe’s most ambitious exploration journey to search for past and present signs of life on Mars.

The story begins with the rover exploring the surface of the

End of sol 2, or martian day.

It was time for Amalia, #RosalindFranklin twin rover, to travel for nine metres in search of a good place to drill and collect samples.

Scientists in the control room used the high-res camera PanCam to spot interesting rocks, and commanded the

End of sol 1, or martian day, for a European rover.

#RosalindFranklin 's robotic twin, known as Amalia, has completed its first drive through a Mars terrain simulator for its latest scientific operations.

The goal: prepare for the real mission on Mars in a realistic scenario.

We are providing over £10m to replace a Russian-made instrument on the ESA_ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover.

The new instrument, named Enfys, will identify minerals that could support evidence for life. 🦠

Our Head of Exploration, Libby Jackson explains more from #UKSC2023 . 👇

A rainbow for Mars 🌈

The Rosalind Franklin rover is getting a new instrument to maximise science on the Red Planet. Enfys, meaning rainbow in Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, is an infrared spectrometer that will identify minerals for sampling and analysis on the martian surface.

We are providing more than £10 million to replace a Russian-made instrument on the ESA_ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover. 🔴

The new instrument, named Enfys, will be led by Aberystwyth University with support from MullardSpaceScience, RAL Space and Qioptiq Ltd. 🛠️

Welcome to ESA_ExoMars Enfys! We look forward to exploring Mars together in 2028

Job alert! An exciting opportunity for an early career engineer to contribute to a new instrument for the Rosalind Franklin rover, due to be going to Mars in 2028. See advert at ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

Final day at #NewScientistLive with Eyes on Mars !

Working towards ESA_ExoMars launch in 2028. This week MullardSpaceScience engineers Barry Whiteside & Tom Hunt are helping upgrade my EM, usually on the Amalia rover ALTEC to flight like at DLR - English, with a new colour sensor for HRC to better represent PanCam in simulations
