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. |

Even though the American Mars program has been cut back, it's nice to know that there will still be one more "M.E.R." going to Mars. Here is a recent look at the 2011 ExoMars Rover as it drives off of its airbag-assisted lander. http://esamultimedia.esa.int/images/aurora...rslander_HI.jpg This image is from ESA. Another Phil |

http://esamultimedia.esa.int/images/aurora...rslander_HI.jpg This image is from ESA. That's a neat trick getting it to roll to a stop at the top of a nice hill! Nice looking rover EDIT: Husband Hill summit in the background of this one if I'm not mistaken. http://www.esa.int/esa-mmg/mmg.pl?b=b&keyw...&start=6&size=b James -------------------- |
