NASA delivers braking engines to ESA for Rosalind Franklin Mars rover mission
By
Andrew Parsonson
Summary
NASA has delivered the first braking engines for the European Space Agency's Rosalind Franklin Mars mission, one of three major contributions alongside launch services and Radioisotope Heater Units (RHUs). This collaboration follows ESA's decision to cut ties with its original partner, Roscosmos, in March 2022 after suspending work on the mission. The braking engines are critical for the rover's landing system on Mars.

· 3 pulledNASA has delivered the first braking engines for the European Space Agency's (ESA) Rosalind Franklin mission to Mars.
The braking engines are one of three major contributions NASA has committed to the mission, along with launch services and Radioisotope Heater Units (RHUs) to keep the rover's instruments warm during cold Martian nights.
That break came in March 2022, when the agency suspended all work on the mission.
