ExoMars descent module dynamic balancing test
Movie clip from the dynamic balancing test of the ExoMars 2022 descent module. The Rosalind Franklin rover and Kazachok surface platform are encapsulated inside – the real flight modules that will go to Mars. The test is to ensure the spacecraft is perfectly balanced when spinning in space.
The tests were carried out in an anechoic chamber in Thales Alenia Space’s facilities in Cannes, France.
