Mars mission set to revolutionize our knowledge.

The European Space Agency's ExoMars program is set to launch its Rosalind Franklin rover in 2028, carrying a next-generation mass spectrometer that could help answer the question of whether there is evidence of past or present life on Mars. The instrument, known as the Mars Organic Molecule Analyzer, will analyze any carbon-containing material found underneath Mars's surface, looking for molecular patterns that are unlikely to be formed in the absence of living biology. The rover will land at a Martian site that likely had water 4 billion years ago, and a drill will retrieve ancient samples from as deep as two meters.
