Still Waters Posted May 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2016 As expected, the European and Russian space agencies have delayed their next mission to Mars from 2018 to 2020. It is a decision that has been well telegraphed in recent months, with both agency officials and industry chiefs expressing their doubts that all the hardware could be made ready in time. The aim of the mission is to land a rover on the Red Planet. Capable of drilling up to 2m below the surface, it would search for signs of past or present life. http://www.bbc.co.uk...onment-36186828 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
