In the touch-down region of #ExoMars #RosalindFranklin rover, Oxia Planum, bigger clay deposits than previously estimated were found. Clay minerals require liquid water to form which maks the region a perfect one for the rover's examinations: ow.ly/Ggki50Z7TkY

The Moon is no longer just a destination. 🌙 On 26 May, NASA published its Moon Base architecture: a plan for a sustained human presence at the lunar South Pole. Decades of analog research have been pointing toward this. Toward staying. Toward building. 🔗 ow.ly/2Qae50Z7xxZ

#ScienceSunday What if the best way to drive on Mars… is to swim? 🌊 On Mars, loose regolith can behave more like fluid than ground. That’s why “swimming” rovers use wave-like motion for their wheels to move through the terrain. 🤖 📷 Marco Schmidt / Universität Würzburg
