To prepare for landing the Rosalind Franklin rover, ESA launched a dummy descent module 30 km above Earth using a helium balloon. After a dramatic free fall, two massive parachutes deployed perfectly — including a record-breaking 35-meter-wide chute. This test proves we’re nearly ready for the toughest landing in the Solar System.

Landing on Mars isn’t easy. In just 6 minutes, the lander must slow down from 21,000 km/h to a soft touchdown. And this parachute system? It’s key to making that happen.
