UK Mars rover hopes face set-back
By Jonathan Amos Science reporter, BBC News
Has a wheel just come off Britain's participation in the biggest European space
mission of the
next decade?
Funding for UK-led experiments on the ExoMars rover and lander is to be cut by
25% in their
key development phase.
The one-billion-euro mission to search for life on the Red Planet has always
been touted as
the one project that plays to all of Britain's strengths.
Now, unless researchers can find extra funds or reduce costs, some of them are
certain to
miss the flagship mission.
