Excellent news for the team.
And meanwhile, we continue to torture parts of the #Enfys instrument in our thermal vacuum system.
The system cycles from the cold of the Martian night (-135C) up to +50C whilst exercising and testing.
Takes about 8 hours per cycle, currently 25 cycles in

The UK-built @esa.int ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover will search for evidence of life on Mars. 🔴
Its Enfys instrument – funded by us and led by
@aberuni.bsky.social - will identify areas for sampling and analysis, which could reveal evidence of life on the Red Planet. 🦠
