The pandemic also delayed the launch of the Stevenage-built ExoMars Rover Rosalind Franklin. During April and May 2020, the Airbus team put in place a digital solution to enable collaboration with ESA and suppliers, ensuring progress continued on the development of the satellite’s mechanical structure. Airbus teams finalised the structure build in the second half of 2020 and integration hardware onto the Structure Model Platform was completed in early January 2021. The Structure Model is now at Airbus Toulouse for its mechanical test campaign. The images were taken last month by the Solar Orbiter Credit: Solar Orbiter/ESA The satellite is the latest to be produced in Stevenage. Last year a probe built by Airbus Space and Defence captured the closest images ever taken of the Sun.
