The Rosalind Franklin rover, Europe's ambitious mission to find signs of past life on Mars, is set to launch in 2028.
Airbus, a British aerospace company, has been awarded a major contract to engineer the sophisticated landing system.
This lander incorporates cutting-edge technology, including a complex parachute and thruster system for a precise landing.
The mission, delayed due to geopolitical events, will sample Martian soil from depths of up to two meters, searching for ancient microbial life.
