EUROPE'S MARS ROVER IS NOW UNLIKELY TO LAUNCH BEFORE 2026 AFTER RUSSIA'S WAR ON UKRAINE
All About Space
|Issue 129
Europe's beleaguered ExoMars rover is unlikely to launch before 2026 as the European Space Agency (ESA) ponders a path forward for the mission, including finding a new rocket, replacing Russian-built parts in cooperation with NASA or restarting its partnership with Russia in case the country's war in Ukraine ends soon.
ESA representatives outlined their plans for the mission in a press conference on 17 March after officially suspending cooperation with Russia's space agency Roscosmos as a result of sanctions imposed on Russia by ESA member states.
