Rover egress test team

A rover test team at ESTEC attempting remote egress of a half-scale rover and lander placed in the 'Mars Yard' of CNES Toulouse in May 2016. To build up experience of egress and remote rover operations, ESA’s Automation and Robotics section together with ESOC’s Advance Mission Concepts section are conducting a long-distance test campaign in collaboration with the French space agency CNES. The ExoMars project team is monitoring the ongoing activities.
