The outer space remains a great enigma for the human being, however, thanks to constant technological development we have more and more tools to solve the problems and doubts that exist about the universe. And at present, Mars’s research and study is one of the most active and advanced projects that the different space organizations are carrying out.
And although the red planet is our neighbor, so far it has been impossible to know it better. But things are changing, and the exomars mission is one of the most potential to answer several questions we have about said planet.
The exomars mission is organized by the European Space Agency (that), and at first it was planned to be held in 2022 with Roscosmos, the Russian space agency. Nevertheless, The Russian Invasion of Ukraine stopped everything and changed plans to the point that ESA has decided to collaborate with NASA for this mission that we have been able to know It will be done in 2028, six years after planned.
This mission is one of the most important in the history of ESA, because the Rove Rosalind Franklin will carry out a task never before performed on the red planet: drill the surface of Mars up to two meters deep. And although the company that has designed this rover is British, the truth is that Without the collaboration of the Spanish engineering company Sener, this would not be possible.

This is because Sener has been key in the design and construction of several elements of this roverthat without them the mission could not be done. Specifically, it is the development of three key subsystems for the deployment of the rover on Mars, in addition to other necessary pieces so that everything comes out as planned.
Sener has taken care of Develop the landing train, the mechanisms and separation adapter from the input capsule in addition to the UH communications antennasF that will carry the Rosalind Franklin. Apart from the central headquarters in Vizcaya is responsible for elements that the Rover will carry on board as the mechanism of deployment of solar panels or the positioning and translation system of the drill.
The objective of the exomars mission is to find or rather determine if there was ever life on Mars. The mission consists of two phases, the first was in 2016 with the launch of the Trace Gas Orbiter for Analyze the planet’s atmosphere in search of trace gasessuch as methane, which could indicate the presence of biological or geological activity.
And this second phase, scheduled for 2028, in which the Martian subsoil will be drilled and will analyze samples in search of past or present signs of life, in addition to the geochemical and geophysical study of the red planet, gradually approaching the conquest of Mars.
