TL;DR: The second ExoMars mission will be launched in 2020 to target an ancient location interpreted to have strong potential for past habitability and for preserving physical and chemical biosignatures (as well as abiotic/prebiotic organics).

Journal ArticleDOI
Walking planetary rovers – Experimental analysis and modelling of leg thrust in loose granular soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the relationship between locomotion in granular soils using legs when compared with wheels and demonstrate that the drag between the leg assembly and the regolith material provides additional thrust.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of increasing velocity on the tractive performance of planetary rovers
TL;DR: In this paper , single-wheel driving tests were conducted using two different metallic, grousered wheels-one rigid and one flexible-over two different soils, olivine sand and CaCO3-based silty soil, at speeds between 0.01-1 m/s throughout an ample range of slip ratios (5-90%).
