#ESA's #RosalindFranklin will start digging holes in Mars some time after its 2028 launch, if everything goes according to the agency's newest plan. Which, by the way, depends on NASA providing space transportation from Earth to Mars for the #ExoMars Lander + Rosalind Franklin rover.
Its landing location in Oxia Planum is about 3000km from the Underhill and 1330km from DaVinci, both cities in #KSR's #MarsTrilogy #SciFi universe (see map).
ESA has a series of

Not everything is #AIslop with #ESA though.
Here is a video of Rosalind Franklin, the ExoMars rover used in the Earth-based Mars Terrain Simulator that makes escaping from a sand trap look easy in this exercise.

Legs made for a Mars landing
"
"To land on the right foot on the Red Planet, European engineers have been dropping a skeleton of the four-legged ExoMars descent module at various speeds and heights on simulated martian surfaces.
The landing legs are crucial gear for the safe touchdown of ESA’s ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover mission in 2030 .."

NASA renews commitment to Europe's life-hunting Mars rover despite Trump budget cuts
The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover is 300 kilograms Mars exploration robot fitted with 2 meters drill to search for signs of life below the Red Planet's radiation-battered surface.
With new developments needed, ESA established a new launch date for the rover in 2028.
