Europe Will be Building the Transfer Arm for the Mars Sample Return Mission By Nancy_A
There will likely be a Mars orbiter that will send a lander to the planet’s surface. It will touch down somewhere near the Perseverance rover, and if Perseverance is still functioning and mobile, the rover itself could bring the samples to the lander. If the lander could set down close enough to some of the sample tubes, it might be able to reach them itself, but that seems quite ambitious and risky., except the new helicopters would have small robotic arms.
ESA says the STA’s autonomous abilities would allow it to “see” the sample tubes, allowing it to either pick up the tubes from the ground or extract the tubes from Perseverance, or perhaps the helicopters. The plan is for a sample return container to blast off with a small rocket from the surface of Mars and rendezvous with ESA’s Earth Return Orbiter , which will leave orbit and bring the materials back to Earth.
Almost all of this plan has never been done before, so again, this is very ambitious. The goal is for the Martian samples to be back on Earth by 2033.
