Planet Mars it is at the center of many important projects that were created by various space agencies, but one of them was postponed after the Coronavirus made its continuation impossible. We are talking about a project of the European space agency, ESA, carried out together with the Russian space agency, which has had various problems so far, but the Coronavirus "was the final straw", so the project was finally postponed.
Planet Mars there was supposed to be a ship sent there by the agents, this one named ExoMars, but it had a series of problems that had to be solved as soon as possible so that it could be sent in a suitable period for the mission to be successful. Due to the travel restrictions that various countries have imposed in Europe following the large number of infections with the Coronavirus, the researchers could no longer meet to solve the problems, so the project was postponed.
Planet Mars: Coronavirus POSTPONES a very Important Mission
Planet Mars it was to be explored by ExoMars to see if there was ever life there, a surface robot equipped with a variety of instruments being almost ready for launch. Rosalind Frankly was going to be the name of this ESA robot, having the ability to dig up to 2 meters below the surface of the planet Mars, and there it was hoped that water would be found, and thus confirm without a doubt that life existed on the celestial body.
"The European Space Agency and its Russian partners have announced that they will delay the planned rover/lander mission to Mars. The project faced a number of technical hurdles and time was short to sort them out before closing a convenient launch window. Now the travel restrictions put in place to limit the spread of the coronavirus have ensured that they will not be dealt with in time."
Planet Mars he was supposed to have the research of this robot analyzed by NASA, which wants to send the first people there, but as it will happen this year, things are getting complicated. Even at NASA, the situation is complicated after an employee was confirmed positive with the new Coronavirus the other day, so not only the mission to the planet Mars is in danger, but also those for the Moon, or to send space probes to other corners of the solar system.
Planet Mars you will wait because the great urgency of humanity at the moment is the Coronavirus, not the space missions to the planets from which we can bring other, much more dangerous viruses.
