ESA's ExoMars Rover Twin Successfully Completes Critical Drive-Off Tests on Simulated Martian Terrain

Amalia, a full-size twin model of the Rosalind Franklin ExoMars rover, has successfully rehearsed driving off its landing platform over 20 times during a two-month test campaign on Earth. These critical tests simulated Mars-like gravity, slopes, boulders, and uneven ground, preparing the rover for one of the most crucial moments of its mission: egressing onto the Martian surface.
