What is the ExoMars orbiter doing? One image even features NASA’s InSight lander, which landed on Mars on November 26, 2018 to study the interior of the planet. Another part of ExoMars is a platform on the surface of Mars that will see a six-wheeled surface rover drill for rock samples. The ExoMars rover is called Rosalind Franklin, after the DNA pioneer. It’s monitoring the surface of Mars around InSight, and will help search for impact sites is InSight detects any meteorite impacts during its mission.
