ExoMars, or Rosalind Franklin, is the name of the rover they’ll be using to survey the Martian planes in search of, well, like all others are doing, life. The actual robot to be sent to the planet is still being put together but its sibling, a replica needed for testing purposes, is already hard at work in a simulated Martian environment somewhere in Italy.
You can see it in the gallery attached to this piece, as shot while inside the Mars Terrain Simulator in Turin. It is suspended by a device meant to trick it into experiencing the gravity of Mars (one-third that of Earth) and surrounded by the walls of the facility and some people in the background.
