The European Space Agency’s Exobiology on Mars (ExoMars) program includes a series of missions designed to study the potential for past life on the red planet. The first phase ExoMars was the launch of the Trace Gas Orbiter in 2016. The next step for ExoMars is the delivery of the rover, Rosalind Franklin, to the martian surface. Rosalind Franklin is equipped with cameras as well as a drill that will allow the rover to drill up to two meters and collect data from the sub-surface of the planet. An onboard laboratory will process samples and deliver them to three instruments. Minerals will be characterized by the MicrOmega instrument; a Raman spectrometer will provide data concerning mineralogical composition; and part of the Mars Organics Molecule Analyser (MOMA) will study and identify soil chemistry.

Diesmal dreht sich alles um den Mars. Wir reden zwar kurz noch über das, was man gerade am Himmel so sehen kann. Aber dann geht es um unseren Nachbarplaneten, denn da ist gerade jede Menge los. Drei Raumsonden aus drei Ländern treiben sich dort gerade rum. Und zwei Rover sollen demnächst dort landen. Und ein Hubschrauber! Was es da alles zu erforschen gibt, ob der Hubschrauber die Marsatmosphäre kaputt machen wird und welches “neue Gas” man dort gefunden hat, erklären wir in dieser Folge. Und wir beantworten Fragen: Über das Terraforming des Mars, die Eisriesen Uranus und Neptun und die planetare Migration.

Several space missions have been delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic. And it's especially sad for Mars-bound spacecraft, as the next launch window is not for 2 years. Delayed missions include: James Webb Space telescope; Artemis manned lunar landing; SLS and Orion; ExoMars. Current European orbiters Mars Express and Trace Gas Orbiter have been placed in stand-by mode. In addition, SpaceX has closed facilities; Bigelow Aerospace is in financial trouble; ALMA telescopes in Chile are closed. But NASA's Mars Perseverance rover, UAE's Hope orbiter and a Chinese lander and orbiter will launch to Mars mid-year, as planned.

Europe's ExoMars program has already kicked off with the Trace Gas Orbiter, currently manoeuvring downward to its final science orbit. But ExoMars is not limited to a single mission. By 2020, ESA hopes to launch the first European rover to the Red Planet. Abbie Hutty, a Lead Spacecraft Structures Engineer, comes on to talk about what it takes to design, test and build a rover chassis, from wheels to mast, and what this rover means in the broader view of Mars exploration and international cooperation.

This is Special English. I&`&m Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Here is the news.A scientist known as China&`&s "father of hybrid rice" has developed a new strain that could enable the plant to adapt to more varied growing environments at a significantly lower cost. The strain is designed to be hardier and able to withstand lower temperatures during the plant&`&s reproductive phase. It is the third generation of hybrid rice that Yuan Longping has developed.Yuan told the China Daily that the third generation will also incorporate the merits of the previous two generations, and its adaptability to low temperatures will increase significantly. Low temperatures during the reproductive phase resulted in crop failure for the second generation of hybrid rice in Anhui province in 2014, triggering government scrutiny over the adaptability of the strain. It also infuriated farmers, whose yields plummeted from an expected 7.5 metric tons to 750 kilograms per hectare, or even to zero. Yuan said the cost of breeding the new strain has also decreased significantly, making its commercial use viable in the short term. Yuan is also developing a new strain of saltwater-resistant rice that could yield up to 4.5 tons per hectare - around 60 percent of the yield from regular paddies. Meanwhile, his team is looking to sell the new strain to the world&`&s major rice-growing countries. This is Special English.Another big name is joining the world&`&s pursuit for self-driving cars, with Apple acknowledging for the first time that it is investing "heavily" in building such a car.According to a letter from the company to the U.S. transport regulator which was revealed in the media recently, Apple declared its interest in self-driving vehicle technology, adding that the company "is excited about the potential of automated systems in many areas, including transportation".The letter was written by Apple&`&s Director of Product Integrity Steve Kenner on Nov. 22 to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It urges the U.S. regulator not to introduce too many rules on the testing of self-driving cars.The letter said established manufacturers and new entrants should be treated equally.There has long been speculation about the computer and iPhone maker&`&s plans for expanding into transportation but it has not publicly admitted them.A few companies are currently investing in self-driving cars, including Google which is reportedly already testing its cars on the roads, and the electric car maker Tesla, which has announced that all the cars it now builds will have the hardware installed to drive on their own. You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Mark Griffiths in Beijing. A British Council program aiming to inspire girls and young women about the world of work has launched its online platform.The program is entitled "Inspiring Women China". It is based on an initiative in Britain. Its online platform will enable this initiative to grow in scale across China with teachers able to connect with and invite volunteers in any chosen field or area to talk with students in their school or college.The program is expected to inspire young people, girls and young women in particular, to raise their confidence and aspirations and enable them to make better informed choices about their career options.At the heart of this program is a network of successful women from a broad range of backgrounds who volunteer their time to talk to students about their job, career and the path they took to get there.Carma Elliot, head of the British Council China, says she agrees with the Chinese saying of "women hold up half the sky".She said the program is also about inspiring the next generation of girls to fulfill their potential in society, and to make the greatest possible contribution to social and economic development.This is Special English.Member countries of the European Space Agency have approved an additional 440 million euros, roughly 470 million U.S. Dollars, to fund the agency&`&s next mission to Mars.As part of the ExoMars mission, the agency sent an orbiter and a test lander to the red planet this year. The Trace Gas Orbiter was successfully deployed but the lander malfunctioned and crashed on the surface of Mars, raising fears about the next stage of the mission.Despite the crash, officials meeting in Switzerland recently approved the budget that the agency said it requires to send a rover to Mars in 2020.In all, member states approved 10 billion euros in funding for the agency, which will also allow it to continue participating in the International Space Station program until at least 2024.You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Mark Griffiths in Beijing.Australian researchers have developed a world-first vaccine for gum disease.The vaccine, developed by a team from the University of Melbourne, will eliminate, or at least significantly reduce, the need for surgery and antibiotics for severe gum disease.Gum disease affects one in three adults worldwide and more than 50 percent of Australians over the age of 65.The disease is commonly associated with diabetes, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, dementia and certain types of cancer. It is a chronic condition that destroys gum tissue and bone supporting teeth, leading to tooth loss.The vaccine targets enzymes produced by the bacteria to trigger an immune response which in turn produces antibodies that neutralize the pathogen&`&s destructive toxins.Eric Reynolds, CEO of the Oral Health Cooperative Research Center at the University of Melbourne, said the vaccine would greatly reduce the tissue destruction caused by the pathogen.Reynolds said the methods are helpful, and he holds high hopes for this vaccine to improve the quality of life for millions of people.Clinical trials of the vaccine in humans are expected to begin in early 2018. This is Special English.Patients in an Australia state are being recruited in what is touted as the world&`&s first medicinal cannabis trial for the prevention of nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy.The clinical trial will involve 80 patients in the first stage and could expand to another 250 patients across New South Wales.According to a statement from the office of the New South Wales Minister for Medical Research, the trial will play a critical role in developing a better understanding of how cannabis products may provide relief for cancer patients.A new oral plant-derived, pharmaceutical-grade capsule will be used in the trial.A lead researcher of the trial, associate Professor Peter Grimison said there was very limited high-quality research available on the role of cannabis-derived medicines in treating nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy.He said they have come a long way with conventional anti-nausea medication, but one-third of patients continue to suffer during and after chemotherapy. The professor said the role of cannabis medicines in alleviating chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting is still unclear, and this study aims to provide a definitive answer to this question.
