ESA's ExoMars Rover Twin Completes Simulated Martian Drive Tests

A full-size model of the Rosalind Franklin ExoMars rover, named Amalia, has successfully performed over 20 test drives off its landing platform onto a simulated Martian surface. These crucial rehearsals, conducted under Mars-like conditions, are a vital step in preparing for the actual mission. This ensures the rover can safely egress and begin its exploration of the Red Planet, advancing future space exploration.
