The Rosalind Franklin rover, a part of Europe’s ExoMars program, has faced delays due to the suspension of its partnership with Russia. However, NASA has stepped in to provide launch services, parts of the landing propulsion system, and a portion of the heating system for the rover. The rover is now set to launch in 2028 and will drill deeper into the Martian surface than any previous rover, collecting samples from as deep as 2 meters. The rover will search for evidence of past life on Mars and will be equipped with the Mars Organic Molecule Analyzer to detect organic molecules in the samples. The rover program is currently undergoing a review to ensure that the system meets requirements before launch planning begins.
