Airbus Defence & Space
We are delighted to announce that Airbus Defence & Space will be joining the MACH 2020 E&D Zone with their ExoMars Rover, ground demonstration model 'Bruno'. Bruno is the testing model here on planet Earth: his counterpart the 'Rosalind Franklin' Rover is due to launch in 2020 to examine the environment and ultimately search for life on Mars.
ExoMars will also help to prepare for other robotic missions and possible future human exploration.
You can find out more about the ExoMars and its mission at the AIRBUS WEBSITE.
