Project Details
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 phase of the project will build and deliver the instrument models and carry out the pre-launch preparations for the surface missions.
