The ExoMars dosing station, a part of the Sample Preparation and Distribution System (SPDS) which is designed to transport Martian soil samples collected by the drill to the instruments inside the ExoMars rover, was tested in conditions simulating Martian gravity during a parabolic flight campaign that ran from 7 to 9 June 2011.
In this photo, Wolfgang Schulte, programme manager for the dosing station at Kayser-Threde, takes notes on the experiment between two parabolas.
