Mars robots
Apparently the european version of the Mars Rovers is at the initial design stage and they’ve got to decide which of the main designs to go with.
They are talking about making the project bigger by adding a satelite to the package so that they don’t have to rely on the Americans. This should be a good idea but with the failure of the beagle project are the powers that be going to approve the extra money? The two designs are basically an option for a basic package and an option for everything. I’d like to think that the EU will approve the greater option and that this is the only way forward for space exploration to rival that of the americans but I’m not convinced that they are willing to spend the money…
Who knows…
