Europe has fixed on a concept for its next mission to land on the Red Planet. It aims to send a single robot rover to the Martian surface along with another, stationary, science package. |

So a battery powered EDL tech demo in 2016, followed by an entirely unrelated landing in 2018.
What's the demo for, exactly. What future payloads are planned within the performance envelope of the tech test. The entire ExoMars project is a mess. It needs properly ripping up and starting from the beginning again. Since it's conception - it's not just stayed a static distance in the future like most doomed projects - it has accelerated further into the future and now, after 5 years, lies further away than it ever has before. http://twitpic.com/lacef |
