Mars Organic Molecule Analyzer: Footage

Released on May 24, 2018

The Mars Organic Molecule Analyzer, or MOMA, is a miniaturized, highly sophisticated organic chemistry laboratory headed to the red planet aboard ESA's Rosalind Franklin rover (formerly ExoMars). The MOMA mass spectrometer subsystem and main electronics were built and tested at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. This editor's resource page contains video footage and images of MOMA in broadcast resolution.
