To launch into space, they had to carry out numerous tests with cutting-edge technology that they showed a team from laSexta. The director of Space at AVS, Cristina Ortega, has shown some of them, like the cameras in which they are simulated environmental conditions on the Martian surface or room in which particle quantity and humidity are controlled.
Nevertheless, this will not be your only trip to Mars. They will do it again with the robotic hand that will collect the tubes from the Martian surface in order to transport and analyze them on Earth.
