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. |

From the article:
QUOTE a mass of 120kg for the rover and 8-14kg for the science payload That's a lot of balsa wood! But I wonder how much drilling you can get out of that? A MER rover is 185 kg. and is totally geology dedicated. Is it possible to build a life detection system in 8-14 kg. ???? |
