This spherical container has been engineered to house the most scientifically valuable cargo imaginable: samples brought back from the Red Planet.
Still probably many years in the future and most likely international in nature, a Mars sample-return mission is one of the most challenging space ventures possible for robotic exploration.
A robust, multifunctional sample container is an essential link in the long technical chain necessary to make such a mission successful.
Weighing less than 5 kg, this 23 cm-diameter sphere is designed to keep martian samples in pristine condition at under -10°C throughout their long journey back wa Mbptu.
