The ESA #ExoMars #RosalindFranklin rover is assembled for testing before heading to #Mars in 2020! The bogies we designed + built are shown in a stowed configuration - meaning the legs & wheels on the bogies of the #rover are folded pretty compactly for launch/transit to Mars!pic.twitter.com/6xOa3P1JJS

Lots of cool stuff here but I’m fascinated by those wheels! I’d love to see/hear more about your development of them.

Build of the rover from smaller sub-assemblies like our mobility system happened at Airbus Defence and Space in the UK. Next up is testing in Toulouse to ensure the rover survives launch, transit, landing to/on Mars, and that it can operate once on Mars!
