Falcon Heavy Launch Contract Secured For ExoMars Rover
SpaceX has been selected to launch the ESA’s Rosalind Franklin rover to Mars on its Falcon Heavy rocket, with a reported value of $175.7M and a planned launch date of late 2028. However, the mission’s future is uncertain due to proposed budget cuts that may cancel NASA’s participation. The ExoMars mission is one of approximately 50 NASA science missions at risk, according to the Planetary Society. This development was first reported by Payload Space.
