Project Details
Layman's description
Enfys is a compact infrared reflectance spectrometer designed fit the existing interfaces on the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover. Enfys will cover a spectral range of 0.9 to 3.2um to enable diagnostic in-situ reflectance spectral measurements to be taken on the Martian surface and will be operated alongside PanCam to provide the geological context for the surface missions. This project will de-risk critical components for the instrument and establish the knowledge and infrastructure required to develop a flight instrument in time for the planned 2028 launch.
