The resurrected Rosalind Franklin composite rover mission’s key systems will be upgraded with support from the TAS, ESA and NASA for a planned launch in 2028.
Since its landing on Mars in 2021, NASA’s rover has completed four scientific campaigns. Its fifth campaign up to the crater rim, a location of geologic interest, will further aid scientists’ understanding of Mars’ past formation.
The rover’s successful landing on Feb. 18 begins a two-year science investigation of Mars’ Jezero Crater for ancient microbial life.
Advanced Composites Training helps train NASA engineers in the use of composite materials for construction of the Mars 2020 rover.
The composite aeroshell for the Mars 2020 rover is, along with the Curiosity rover, the largest built.
NASA’s Perseverance rover relays a high-resolution still shot of its descent to the surface of Mars. Rover indicates positive health reports.
The five-year project employs computational modeling techniques to build composite panels that are three times stiffer and stronger than current carbon fiber to enable manned missions to Mars.
NASA plans to send the Mars Helicopter as a technology demonstrator along with the Mars 2020 rover which is planned for launch in July 2020.
NASA’s recently launched Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter are supported by numerous composite materials and structures.
From launch to touchdown, composites performed in flight and stuck the landing!
