All language subtitles for Impossible Engineering s10e02 Mars Rover Declassified.eng

In today's impossible engineering.

Welcome to Mars.

This is where we test the future robotic
rovers.

We're on a mission to Mars.

It is a wonderful feat of engineering
that these spacecraft come together.

With engineering that's out of this
world.

Wheel walking is such an incredibly
important feature, but this will be

the first time it's ever been flown on a
rover.

And the pioneering historic innovations.

Oh, it's like something out of Star
Wars.

It always feels so mysterious.

It's like another planet.

It may be impossible.

Possible.

For millennia, we've looked up at the
stars in wonder.

questioning whether we're alone in the
vast expand.

I think exploration is always important.

It is important for humankind.

This is really a wild place up here.

Everybody is fascinated about
exploration, in particular, Mars.

With eyes set on Earth's cosmic
neighbor,

scientists are aiming to answer the
ultimate question.

The early telescopes was showing rivers
or canals or channels

which might have also taken water.

That's, of course, something absolutely
interesting to see if there may be life,

even on Mars.

To finally find out if there is life on
Mars,

engineers at the European Space Agency
have created a machine like no other.

Enter the ExoMars rover.

An interplanetary explorer.

Built to boldly go where no man or
machine has gone before.

This is one of the most incredible
engineering projects that's going on in

world right now.

There's something very different about
engineering something for another

It requires a level of thinking, a level
of...

practicality, a level of innovation that
you just don't get when you're

designing things for Earth.

What we are doing feels like science
fiction.

This extraordinary project marks the
dawn of a new age of space exploration.

This project will be the culmination of
about 15 to 20 years of development.

It's a big effort that it costs a
billion euros.

It is a wonderful feat of engineering.

An ambitious mission to make the first
-ever confirmed discovery of life on

another planet.

There is no project in the world that
compares to this one.

Costing over $1 .2 billion, the European
Space Agency's ExoMars rover weighs in

at almost 700 pounds.

This game -changing robot has six sprung
alloy wheels designed to compress for

maximum traction on the Martian soil,
while 3D imaging cameras sit atop a six

-foot -tall mast to survey the
landscape.

A revolutionary core sampling drill can
reach over six and a half feet below

ground, and a host of onboard
instruments will execute the first -ever

biological experiments on another
planet.

This collaborative effort among over 20
countries is overseen by mission manager

Pia Michdofer.

Which model did you last use today?

So today we drove around with this one.
Okay.

I think you know this one already. Yes,
I do.

But we are waiting for our autonomous
navigation to be delivered for ExoMars.

Every component is modeled and tested.
But there's one feature that sets this

Martian explorer apart from any other.

You see here the heart of it. This is
our drill.

This is very unique.

There is no other rover on Mars that can
drill as deep as two meters.

So this is really special in our ExoMars
mission.

We expect to find traces of life on
Mars, but we have the biggest chance to

any if we go deep in the subsurface of
Mars.

This is where we expect to find
preserved.

biomarkers or biomaterial, and that's
what we are looking for.

We are not there yet.

Once we arrive and touch down, the real
work will begin for ExoMars.

But the team faces huge engineering
challenges in their mission to land on

surface of another planet.

At a secure clean room facility in
southern France, engineers are fine

the spacecraft that will travel to Mars,
overseen by Chief Engineer Albert

Haldeman.

To get things into space, you need to
fight the Earth's gravity. So you need

have a lot of thrust to push against
that gravity.

One of the Russian contributions to the
cooperation is the rockets to launch.

And we will use a Proton M to launch the
ExoMars 2022 spacecraft composite.

The upper stage of the Proton M is
capable of accelerating the

spacecraft from Earth orbit towards
Mars.

The colossal Proton M rocket will launch
from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

the world's largest operational space
launch facility.

The 4 .7 -ton missile burns an enormous
660 gallons of rocket fuel to escape

Earth's gravity and ejects three stages
to lighten the load.

The final stage sends the spacecraft on
its nine -month voyage to Mars.

But what comes next poses an
astronomical hazard.

The most ambitious part is the entry,
descent and landing.

Landing on Mars presents a huge
challenge because you have to go from an

interplanetary velocity of 10 kilometers
per second to a velocity of zero in a

period of about six or seven minutes.

If ExoMars 2022 crashes, it will be
catastrophic.

This spacecraft will be making the 350
million mile journey to another world.

where an arsenal of onboard instruments
will fight their way through the Martian

atmosphere.

You need a heat shield to protect that
initial ballistic entry and to slow you

down. But then you need some other
systems to slow yourself further.

We have the biggest parachute ever used
on Mars.

You're going almost as fast on a
parachute on Mars as the human skydiver

with no parachute on Earth.

So you need something else to stop you
when you get to the ground, and we use

rockets for that. We use a controlled
rocket thrust to make a soft landing on

the surface.

With half of all previous missions to
Mars ending in disaster... Failure for

ExoMars 2022 is not an option.

This time, we really, really, really
will make it.

But on a mission of this scale, the
challenges are relentless.

Landing on Mars is just the beginning.

If you land in one place and only have a
panorama, it's very limited what you

can do and how much you can interact
with that environment.

The scientific ambition requires
mobility.

To find a solution, the team must turn
to history's great space exploration

pioneers.

At the U .S. Space and Rocket Center in
Alabama, aerospace engineer Kimberly

Robinson is searching for an
interplanetary engineering innovation.

Landing on the surface of the moon for
the first time ever was a great

accomplishment, probably one of the
greatest of human achievements.

We soon learned that we were limited by
how far the astronauts could explore on

the lunar surface.

But we understood that if we needed to
explore further, we were going to need

transportation to help us get to points
of interest.

As the first Apollo astronauts realized
that moonwalking wasn't going to cut it,

engineers Ferenc Pavlich and Sam Romano
of the Lunar Roving Task Team stepped in

with a solution.

This is the Lunar Rover.

This is a replica that was built with
some of the original lunar rover design

team, and I am going to get to drive it.
So I am very excited. So let's give it

a test drive, shall we?

All right.

And we're off.

The lunar rover marks the beginning of a
new chapter of space exploration.

So this was the world's first off
-planet, off -road vehicle.

It drives like a dream.

Powered by two 36 -volt non
-rechargeable batteries, and with each

its own dedicated electric motor, the
Lunar Rover was a four -wheel drive

vehicle designed to enable lunar
exploration.

I can only imagine how much fun it must
have been on the lunar surface, going

through craters, around rock.

It's a marvel of engineering.

So what made this rover such a runaway
success? And how can today's engineers

use a vehicle from the past?

We built the rover to rove in order to
expand the access to the Martian

To inspire a futuristic rover destined
for a whole new world.

Welcome to Mars.

The lunar rover was a groundbreaking
piece of engineering.

It changed the way astronauts explored
the moon's surface and proved invaluable

on the last three Apollo missions.

To make this moon buggy possible,
engineers used some key design elements.

Ultra -lightweight components kept the
rover's weight down to only 680 pounds

and allowed it to be folded and stowed
for its 240 ,000 -mile journey to the

moon.

While the wheels on the replica are
rubber wheels, the wheels on the real

rover were made of a steel wire mesh to
get better traction on the surface.

A very important feature of the lunar
rover were these fenders.

They kept off the dust from the lunar
surface to keep everything working and

the right temperature.

And these fender guards here were
actually made with the original molds

lunar rover.

A host of onboard equipment, like a
reconnaissance camera.

and a communications antenna enabled
widespread scientific exploration.

It could go about 8 miles per hour
generally, but got up to 11 .2 miles per

on Apollo 17.

It drives with a joystick. As you can
see, my hand, I turn it left or right to

go in the direction I want to go.

Astronauts on Apollo missions 15, 16,
and 17 used this cosmic car to explore

further than ever before, expanding the
.6 -mile exploration distance of Apollo

11 to an enormous 19 miles on the Apollo
17 mission, allowing

astronauts to collect over five times
the amount of rock samples for

examination.

Although the original lunar rovers are
left behind on the lunar surface, The

legacy of the lunar rover is that we
still have the engineering technology

know -how to create this wonderful
vehicle that we can use as we return the

man and the first woman to the lunar
surface in the near future.

In Europe, engineers have adapted the
rover concept for the 21st century.

But instead of a crude buggy, it's an
autonomous robotic rover

that the Apollo engineers could have
only dreamed of.

We built the rover to rove in order to
expand the access to the Martian surface

in order to find the evidence that it
hopes to achieve.

Behind me, you have the spacecraft that
will go to Mars.

And inside it, the lander is actually
all folded up in the middle of the

module.

After a successful touchdown, the
landing platform and the rover will

just like the lunar roving vehicle.

Once the solar array and mast are
deployed, ExoMars is ready to embark on

adventure.

Leaving the landing platform behind, the
rover will embark on a mission lasting

211 Martian souls, the equivalent of
seven Earth months.

Roaming on its inorganic sprung alloy
wheels, specifically designed to prevent

microbial contamination between planets
millions of miles apart.

When you can drive on Mars... Every day
is like a new landing site. You discover

through a new panorama of images every
day a new place on another planet.

Building on the lunar rover concept, the
team has created one of the most

advanced machines to ever roam another
planet.

We imagine that spacecraft are somehow
built by robots and built by other

machines because they're so high -tech.

But one of the fascinating secrets I
find is that spacecraft are the epitome

handmade engineering.

All of the structural panels are laid
out, the glues are all painted on by

artisans, frankly.

The technicians and engineers who make
these things, they have artistic

competence to make perfect assemblies
every time. It is a wonderful feat of

engineering to see spacecraft come
together.

The first stage of this mega -mission is
complete.

But exploring uncharted territory
presents enormous engineering

Because where the distance between
worlds is immense, so are the risks.

For aerospace engineer Paul Meacham,
interplanetary contact is the top

The problem with communicating with a
spacecraft on Mars is that even

at the speed of light... A radio signal
will take up to 20 minutes to make the

journey from Earth to Mars, and another
20 minutes to come from Mars back to

Earth. So if you're trying to drive
something by remote control, like a

20 minutes later, that signal finally
makes it to Mars, and of course, in

time, it's already crashed into whatever
the object was.

To find a solution,

Paul must step into another world.

Welcome to Mars.

Hidden away in the UK is a highly
detailed 4 ,000 square foot facility

to imitate the Martian surface.

This is our Mars Yard facility here in
Stevenage and it's where we test the

future robotic rovers.

This extraterrestrial environment is the
perfect place to test and develop the

ExoMars navigation system.

This Mars Yard is similar to Mars in a
lot of different ways. Firstly, the sand

is very similar.

We also have representative lighting in
here that give us the right light levels

that we'll expect to encounter on Mars.

It's also inhabited by its very own
resident rover.

This is Bruno.

He is one of our earliest prototypes.

One of the key features of Bruno is his
autonomous navigation system, which is

really, really pivotal for the way the
rover will drive across the surface

without humans needing to constantly
monitor and remote control it.

It starts with these two cameras at the
top of the mast here, and they see in 3D

in much the same way we do. Our brains
are extremely good at combining the

images from each eye into one consistent
flowing 3D image of what's in front of

us. Every time the rover stops, it will
take a new set of images.

And it will analyze those to figure out
where on the terrain in front of it it

can and can't go.

So if there's a rock that's too big or a
slope that's too steep, it will

automatically mark that area as
forbidden and it will not go anywhere

So you end up with what we call a
navigation map.

Using state -of -the -art 3D imaging,
ExoMars builds a detailed topographical

map.

Thinking for itself.

It's up to the rover to autonomously
navigate a successful path.

We're going to put this autonomous
navigation system to the test by using

rock here. We can put that directly in
front of the rover.

And what we'll do is we'll give the
rover a target the other side of the

The rover should identify this as
something that is too big, and we should

the rover taking an alternate path.

Here we go.

The rover's just effectively determined
the height of that rock, and it's

determined that that height is beyond
its locomotion capability.

So it's immediately turned to the right
to drive around that rock.

such that it doesn't in any way endanger
itself.

The rover's done that entirely by
itself. All I have had to have done as

operator is to give it the target, the
end point I want it to reach. I've told

it nothing about the best route to take,
or the terrain, or the fact that rock

was even there.

But when the goal is to explore the most
likely habitats for alien life, some

hazards must be tackled head -on.

One of the real challenges is that the
places on Mars that are most

scientifically interesting are often the
least accessible.

And that means that rather than just
going around these rocks, we do need to

through rock fields.

And on the red planet's varied terrain,
rocks aren't the only obstacle.

Some of the sand on Mars can have the
consistency of talcum powder. So when

drive into that, it's very easy for the
rover to dig itself in, and that causes

major problems.

In 2009, NASA's Mars rover Spirit became
buried in a sand trap.

Despite a concerted effort from the team
back on Earth, Spirit was unable to

move. NASA's $800 million mission was
stopped in its tracks.

To avoid losing another rover to the
Martian sands, engineers will turn to

pioneers of the past.

The engineers behind the latest Mars
rover must plan for every possible

challenge their vehicle could encounter
as it explores the red planet.

Getting out of a situation where the
rover has got stuck is absolutely

If the rover is unable to free itself,
the consequences are disastrous.

In essence, you'd have spent nearly
billions of euros and years of

launching this thing to Mars only for it
to get stuck. So that would pretty much

be the end of the mission.

When rocks and sandpits must be tackled
head -on, the rover team must look to

the innovators of the past.

Robotics engineer Tel Garin is trekking
through the back roads of Ohio.

Oh, yeah, this is getting very rough.

Oh, man, here we go.

In search of a groundbreaking locomotive
innovation.

There's some pretty serious, like, dips
and sort of rocky areas here.

Oh, yeah.

This is a four -wheel drive car. It's
doing okay over this terrain.

But there are places even vehicles like
this can't go.

Tackling tricky terrain is a challenge
that the U .S. military has faced since

the early days of mechanized warfare.

In World War I and II, the military was
developing a lot of different vehicles.

Most of them had wheels and tracks.

There's a lot of areas on the planet
that are mountainous or sandy that

vehicles or even tracked vehicles.

really can't go.

It just gets too steep or too rough.

In 1981,

engineers Kenneth Waldron, Robert McGee,
and Vincent Vonout were contracted by

the military to develop a vehicle that
could go where no other could.

This tarp is massive. It might be huge.

Their contraption seemed to disappear
off the face of the earth.

Oh, my gosh.

But Kel has tracked it down.

All right, let's see how the front of
this looks.

This is the ASV.

Oh, it's incredible.

An assisted suspension vehicle that
doesn't roll, but walks.

It's like something out of Star Wars.

This extraordinary six -legged beast
hasn't seen the light of day for almost

years.

Taking its first steps in 1985, the ASV
could stride across eight -foot -wide

ditches and over six -and -a -half -foot
-tall walls.

This 16 -foot -long giant weighed in at
5 ,900 pounds with the ability to carry

another 485 pounds of cargo, all thanks
to its six -limbed structure.

Because it was this hexapod design, it
had an incredible amount of

maneuverability. Each of the legs could
move to the side.

They could move forward and back. The
vehicle could crab walk sideways if it

needed to. It can sidestep across a
river.

Like, that's something that you don't
get with any other type of vehicle.

It must have been incredible to be in
control of this.

This marching monster has long since
retired.

But to demonstrate the secret behind its
locomotion, Kel has scaled it down.

So I wanted to show you how the ASV
works. And this little robot that we

here is a perfect analog for that.

You see, both the ASV and this robot
have six legs. So when we command this

forward, the robot does just fine. It's
able to navigate this area really well.

And the reason for that is because it
has this alternating tripod gate. You

that only three of its legs are off the
ground at any time, leaving the other

three to be firmly planted on the ground
in a very stable place. And that allows

the robot to move with a lot of
dexterity and confidence through really

terrain.

Synchronizing two sets of tripods to
alternate creates the ant -like hexapod

locomotion.

And upscaling nature's design meant that
the ASV could go virtually anywhere.

This is such an unconventional vehicle,
and it really shows that it was designed

to be as mobile as possible and be able
to move over any terrain.

At the time, in the 80s, this was
considered the world's most advanced

machine. This was pioneering technology.

All of those walking robots that we see
now that are going to go and explore

other planets and that are able to
because they can walk and because they

navigate over really challenging
terrain, it all started here. It all

with this.

For the next generation interplanetary
explorer, Engineers have equipped the

ExoMars rover with the best of both
worlds.

It's designed to drive across the
Martian surface on six wheels. But when

going gets tough, it's time to start
walking.

What wheel walking allows us to do is to
move each wheel or a set of wheels

individually while keeping the other
ones stable.

The front wheel and the back wheel on
one side and the middle wheel on the

side move forward, and then the reverse
will happen, and that sequence will

repeat over and over again.

This particular wheel -walking gait is
actually called a tripod gait and is

influenced by the way insects walk.

This form of locomotion may not be fast,

but by adapting the hexapod walking
technology, the team has created a way

traverse even the most perilous Martian
sandpit.

The normal way of driving the rover, we
do expect that to be able to handle 95 %

of what we encounter on Mars.

That 5%, the 5 % that can strand the
rover and end the mission, that's just

much of a risk to take.

Wheel walking is such an incredibly
important feature, but this will be

the first time it's ever been flown on a
rover.

And even more revolutionary systems keep
this explorer trekking in the hunt for

Martian life.

All six wheels are individually
controlled, and that allows us to

different geometries that wouldn't be
possible if we had an axle system like a

car. So, for example, he can follow a
curve, he can crab sideways, and he can

even spin on the spot if we need him to
by individually controlling those

motors.

By pushing the limits of locomotion.

This monumental machine will one day be
able to roam Mars without restriction.

When you have a mission like ExoMars,
it's costing over a billion euros. The

benefit of being able to escape from
situations that would otherwise surround

the rover is so important.

In simple terms, we can save the mission
when otherwise it would be lost.

With a mission to discover the
extraordinary, ExoMars dares to wander

other rover has before.

But to realize their dreams of
encountering alien life, engineers face

challenge.

We think the best opportunity to find
organics well -preserved is to go in the

subsurface up to two meters depth.

To create more impossible engineering,
the team will have to turn to innovators

of the past.

On its mission to unveil the secrets of
the Red Planet, this hardy robot, named

for the chemist Rosalind Franklin, is
designed to withstand a bombardment of

solar radiation and endure temperature
swings from 80 degrees Fahrenheit to a

frosty minus 200.

But to make the whole mission
worthwhile, rover project manager Bruno

his team have one last challenge to
conquer.

We are in the clean room facility of
Thales Salenia Space, Turin.

This is the clean room where the
elements that go on Mars are integrated.

This is currently the cleanest facility
available in the world for space

application.

To eliminate biological contamination on
the rover, the team runs tests on an

exact replica.

In this area here, we have the ground
test model of the rover.

There is some activity that cannot be
performed on the flight model due to the

constraints linked to the cleanlet.

It is essential that we have another
model where we can try everything in

advance of the real operation.

But contamination from Earth is only
part of the problem.

In 2023, the real Mars rover will touch
down in Oxia Planum, an

81 ,800 square mile plateau flagged as a
potential hotbed for Martian life.

But in the hunt for answers, searching
above ground will barely scratch the

surface.

While the Earth's magnetic field
protects us from harmful solar

dead husk of Mars has no such luxury.

and its surface has been under attack
for billions of years.

The first one meter, one meter and a
half of subsurface has been sterilized

by radiation.

We think the best opportunity to find
organics well -preserved is to go in the

subsurface up to two meters depth.

To find a way to extract pristine rock
samples for analysis.

Could the solution lie buried in the
past?

Archaeologist Cassie Newland is heading
underground in the UK.

It always feels so mysterious.

It's like another planet.

She's on the hunt for buried treasure
that sparked a mining frenzy.

So this is South Crofty mine.

And South Crofty has been open since
medieval times.

If you look around the walls, you'll see
all the minerals leaching out. And it's

those minerals that we're interested in
here.

They're the reason the mine is here.

This is what we're looking for.

As you can see, this beautiful stripe
running from the top here right down to

the bottom.

That is a vein that's been exposed in
the face here.

The 19th century saw a wave of new
mineral and ore discoveries, but

deep deposits was an enormous task.

So at the beginning in Cornwall, mining
is very easy.

It's right on the surface. You can see
it's all sparkly and shiny because the

copper is above the tin.

You can literally fall over it when
you're walking across the moors.

But the deeper you get, the more
expensive a business it is.

At some point, you don't know if it's
worth doing all that expensive mining

because you don't know how far down that
particular vein goes. You need to know

what's under the ground before you dig
it.

But in 1863, French railroad engineer
Rodolphe Lachaud invented a genius

solution that changed the face of mining
forever.

This is the diamond core drill.

An incredible tool allowing rock samples
to be extracted more efficiently than

past mechanisms.

To design a vehicle capable of drilling
deeper into the Martian surface than

ever before, the engineers behind the
Mars rover will need to take Le Chaux's

19th century innovation.

Here it comes. So this is our new core.

And bring it into the future.

It's a rather complicated mechanism, but
it's rather inactive.

When Rodolphe Le Chaux designed the
diamond core drill in 1863, he likely

imagined it would provide inspiration
for a 21st century Mars rover.

But his revolutionary invention will be
vital to future space science, and it's

still in use on Earth today.

So it's practically the same as that
19th century drill, but just done in

machinery.

And what they're doing here is they're
drilling down into the earth, trying to

discover whether there's enough tin and
copper in the Cornish hills to open up

Cornish mining again.

What makes this such a fascinating...
innovation it is like a magical

to look beneath the ground what it does
is it sends a hollow drill down into the

earth to form a column of rock and it
takes the column out in its entirety so

you can see exactly what is happening
every meter under the ground if you want

to know to the nearest centimeter it can
tell you and here you can see where

they're actually drilling so this is
spinning around around around And on the

end of it, it's one of these.

This is a diamond bit.

And this is spinning around and around,
and it's biting through the rock,

creating a core that's this size.

These drills were the first to produce
an intact core that could be extracted

and examined.

But drilling close to the surface and
drilling at depth are very different

propositions.

Another innovation is necessary to make
the diamond core drill useful over a

mile underground.

When you're prospecting for ore, you
need to drill really deep, like two and

half kilometers deep. And that poses a
lot of challenges.

You need to keep that hole open so you
can keep bringing those cores up and

inspect them and see what you've got. So
you do it like this. Put your drill bit

on the end, goes in here, and then all
of this spins to drill out a core.

And as it goes further and further down,
the rods disappear into the ground. You

add the next one.

There you go.

Connecting up.

By the time they finish, they're going
to have an unbroken chain of these

stretching down thousands of meters.

With this incredible combination of
technique, miners were able to retrieve

pristine samples from unprecedented
depth.

Okay, this is the moment of truth.

Here it comes. So this is our new port.

There could be ore in there. Could be
the secret for the universe.

Perfect.

Woo! So now it's time to get the core
sample out and we'll see what we've got.

Beautiful.

So what you've got here is a beautiful
cylinder that is a record of everything

the drill has cut through.

And when you put them all together,
you've basically got a vision of the

beneath your feet. So this is absolutely
essential when prospecting for

minerals. So this is still at the
cutting edge of mining today.

It's pretty ingenious.

Back in Turin's clean room, engineers
have created a drilling system worthy of

the space age. But before it can extract
samples, it needs to reach further down

into the subsurface than any rover
before.

The drill is able to reach two meter
depth using three extension rods.

All the rods are screwed one together
with the other.

by the internal mechanism such to reach
the required length.

It's a rather complicated mechanism, and
it's rather an achievement.

And this revolutionary drill apparatus
might just make the ExoMars rover the

to finding alien life.

In this aspect, our mission is more
significant than any other engineering

project on Earth.

Inspired by Le Chaux's 19th century
drilling innovation, a box mounted on

ExoMars Rover houses a revolutionary
drilling tool, as well as three

extension rods.

Once the drill box has rotated to the
downward drilling position, excavation

will commence.

And as it descends through the soil,
each extension piece will be

screwed to the top, creating a six -and
-a -half -foot -long chain.

This drill is able to dig deeper on Mars
than any rover before.

And once the target depth has been
reached, Le Sho's core sampling

comes into play.

The drill has not only the capability of
drilling, but the capability of

acquiring the sample.

The drill is scoring the sample in the
rock.

And then when the current is completed,
the shutter is closed, such that the

sample can be retrieved.

On its quest, the rover's super -tough
diamond -encrusted drill tip will

excavate 22 samples before the cutting
edge is worn down.

Each one will be analyzed internally for
signs of organic material by an array

of high -tech onboard instruments.

and the results will be beamed directly
to mission control on Earth.

Experiments can be run on Mars without
sending samples to Earth.

Having the possibility to have a
laboratory working for the search of

outer planet, that is really incredible.

The ExoMars team has driven drill
engineering deeper than ever, and they

be the very first to discover something
extraordinary.

Nobody has ever attempted to reach the
surface of Mars in search of life. So in

this aspect, our mission is more
significant than any other engineering

on Earth.

By daring to explore and innovate more
than ever before,

the ExoMars rover is set to change the
course of scientific history forever.

To be part of a mission, finding life
outside the Earth for the very first

as a scientist, as an engineer, I think
that's a wonderful achievement, and it's

been my great privilege to be part of
it.

By enhancing the work of the pioneers of
the past.

Overcoming huge challenges.

And pushing the boundaries of
innovation.

We can take our curiosity beyond Earth.

And that ambition for scientists, for
exploration, for human beings, it's

exhilarating.

Engineers are succeeding in making the
impossible possible.

For me, this mission is so important
because it is bringing so much knowledge

humanity. This is incredible.
