Want to get a picture with a Mars rover? 📸 A full-size model of the ExoMars rover, also known as Rosalind Franklin, will be on display at an event in the Neuadd in the Senedd in Cardiff Bay on Wednesday (2 April). It will highlight how Aberystwyth University researchers are pushing the frontiers of space exploration, with experts giving presentations about the key roles they're playing in the ExoMars mission, which is due to land the rover on the Red Planet in 2028. The event begins at 12.00 noon BST. For more information, visit: https://lnkd.in/gJRxRcWr
