🔴 La structure du bouclier thermique avant de la capsule de la mission européenne #ExoMars Rosalind Franklin est arrivée chez ArianeGroup (📷).
Les équipes ont commencé l'installation du système de protection thermique en liège de qualité spatiale Norcoat® Liège HPK, un matériau qualifié par ArianeGroup pour résister aux conditions extrêmes de l'entrée dans l'atmosphère martienne : des vitesses proches de 21 000 km/h et des températures allant jusqu'à 1 800 °C.

Big timelines for #ExoMars Rosalind Franklin programme. Slippage due to NASA pulling out for funding reasons, then a partnership with Russia dissolving due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Programme was conceived in 2001 and planned launch currently 2028. If that date is missed, it will be another couple of years before perfect conditions are available again 😬.
