The rover will land on the Martian moon Phobos and explore its surface for approximately three months. Initial landing tests are currently underway at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum f\u00fcr Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) Landing and Mobility Test Facility (Lande- und Mobilit\u00e4tstest Anlage; LAMA) in Bremen. Using a first preliminary development model, the engineers are determining how robust the design of the approximately 25-kilogram rover must be to withstand an impact on the moon&#8217;s surface after a freefall of about 40 to 100 meters.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-10-martian-moons-exploration-rover.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">First tests for land\u00ading the Mar\u00adtian Moons eX\u00adplo\u00adration rover<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission will have a German-French rover on board when it is launched in 2024.
