Two Days and a Half – How ESA Brought a Lost Mars Mission Back to Life

The Episode In March 2022, Europe’s ExoMars Rosalind Franklin mission was only weeks from launch when it was suddenly grounded. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine ended years of cooperation, and left one of ESA’s most ambitious Mars projects without a ride, without partners, and without a plan. From inside ESA’s Mission Control in Darmstadt, Sara Melloni watched everything freeze. As Mission Operations Manager for Rosalind Franklin, she now leads the team bringing Europe’s Mars dream back to life, one simulation, one re-wiring, one sleepless night at a time. This is not just the story of a spacecraft. It’s the story of how science survives politics, and how belief can resurrect a mission thought lost. Cosmic Timeline (Timestamps) [00:00:00] Opening – Markus recalls seeing the ExoMars rover and hearing its dramatic backstory[00:01:45] Sara Melloni on writing a new chapter for Rosalind Franklin[00:04:30] How the original 2018 mission fell apart and what ESA learned[00:08:20] When geopolitics stops science – the shock after the 2022 suspension[00:12:50] “Two days and a half” – the tightest window in mission control[00:17:40] Inside ESOC – training, simulation, and the psychology of mission control[00:23:15] How engineers dismantled, re-tested, and rebuilt a “frozen” mission[00:29:10] The rover’s drill: reaching two meters down for traces of ancient life[00:36:00] ESA’s global collaborations and the rebirth of European Mars exploration[00:43:50] From crisis to creativity – what the ExoMars team taught ESA about adaptation[00:49:00] Sara’s reflection on curiosity, machines, and the human mind[00:54:20] Closing – why bringing Rosalind Franklin back matters for the future of Europe in spaceMemorable Moments “We were ready to go, every checklist ticked, and then the war started.”“Our Russian colleagues lost access to their bank accounts overnight. We all just froze.”“Two days and a half. That’s all the time the landing platform will live before handing control to the rover.”“If we stop using our brain, it will atrophy, machines can help us, but not replace our curiosity.”“It’s a mission in limbo, but we’re bringing it back to life.”Links to Explore ESA ExoMars Mission Overview Rosalind Franklin Rover Testing at ESA ESA Science Goals and Mission PhasesSend us Fan Mail You can find us on Spotify and Apple Podcast!

Space Economy Insights ep. 3 - Dr. Zolana Joao

In this third episode of Space Economy Insights, Kevin O’Connell interviewed Dr. Zolana Joao, Director General of the Angolan National Space Office and Architect of Angola’s Space Strategy. Dr. Joao has a background in electrical engineering and a doctorate in engineering management from George Washington University, with a focus on productivity and efficiency in large, complex space projects. Kevin and Zolana spoke about the genesis of the Angolan National Space Office, borne out of the end of conflict for Angola and driven by the need to create connectivity in order to improve education and economic growth. They reviewed highlights of the original Angolan Space Strategy (2016-2025) in areas like capacity building, encouraging private sector activities, and international engagement and previewed how those might change in a future update. A continuing theme throughout their conversation was the need to educate future space leaders in order to “speak the language of space” while also ensuring the ability to communicate the importance of space publicly and to key decision-makers. The challenges of earth and space sustainability demand effective solutions from which space can play an outsized role. They also covered the importance of “smart” partnerships and the key role that space can play in solving problems like poverty and hunger, partly through national strategy and support for private sector activities. Kevin and Zolana also discussed a broader set of exciting space developments across the African continent, including the establishment of the African Space Agency earlier this year. While Africa’s portion of the global space economy is still small, it is one of the fastest growing regions in the world. Some analysts think that Africa can leapfrog over some of the technical developments and play a unique and important leadership role in the future space economy.

Space Economy Insights ep. 1 - Claire Jolly

Space Economy Insights episode 1 - What is Space Economy? In this first pilot episode of Space Economy Insights, Kevin O'Connell and Emma Gatti interviewed Claire Jolly, Head of Ocean Economy & Space Economy, Directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Together, they discussed the real meaning of the concept of Space Economy. How do we measure what is part of the domain and what is not? Is this all a hype? And if not, how do we avoid turning it into one? And again, which are the most urgent and crucial sectors that need development in order to transform Space into a long-term sustainable and flourishing sector?

Space Economy Insights ep. 2 - Prof. Matthew Gilliham

In this second episode of Space Economy Insights, Kevin O'Connell and Emma Gatti interviewed Prof. Matthew Gilliham, the Director of the Wait Research Institute at the University of Adelaide and the Director of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space (P4S). Born as an ecologist and plant physiologist, Prof. Gilliham has been leading for years a large scale program in space agriculture - specifically the growth and adaptation of plants to space environments and the production of novel bio products in plants to enable long-term space habitation, and to use these innovations to improve on Earth sustainability. Kevin and Emma explored with Matt the infinite possibilities of space agricolture, from business models to medicine frontiers, from the (quite unremarkable) diet of the astronauts to the future of nutrition on Earth.

Earthrise & the Moment Change Happens – A Conversation with Frank White, Pt. 1

The Episode Frank White has spent decades unpacking something astronauts struggle to describe — the instant you see Earth not as a place you stand on but as the vessel carrying all of us through space. In this first part, Frank traces the roots of the space age — Sputnik, Apollo, Earthrise — and how those shocks and images rewired our sense of ourselves. He shows how global conflict, national pride, and scientific leaps all converge in that fragile blue sphere rising over the lunar horizon. This isn’t just the story of a photograph. It’s how perspective becomes politics — and why seeing Earth from afar might be the cultural medicine we still need. Cosmic Timeline (Timestamps) [00:00:00] We are already in space — Earth as an organic spaceship [00:02:35] The letter to Wernher von Braun — and the reply that changed Frank’s life [00:07:30] Childhood rocketry, Sputnik fever, and realizing science might not be his path [00:09:40] Was von Braun the Elon Musk of his time? [00:11:40] Sputnik’s shock — and how it reshaped American education [00:14:50] A proxy war in orbit — why the Cold War made space urgent [00:16:56] Why today’s momentum (Starship, China, Artemis) feels eerily familiar [00:17:58] Kennedy’s lost vision: a joint U.S.–Soviet mission to the Moon [00:21:20] Are we culturally advanced enough for true cooperation? [00:23:00] The Overview Effect — one planet, no borders, and the danger of ignoring reality [00:26:10] Earthrise — context, chaos, and the emotional shock of 1968 [00:29:38] How that single photo lifted a broken year [00:30:36] Will the next Moon landing matter? Yes — most people alive never saw Apollo [00:35:36] Images that birthed environmentalism — and how to bring the overview down to Earth [00:38:26] Why preaching doesn’t work — stories do [00:40:12] Urgency: 99 percent of species are gone — we’re not immune [00:41:44] A summit in orbit? Maybe start with the people who actually make policy [00:43:00] Markus wraps Part 1 — and sets the stage for Part 2 Memorable Moments “Don’t say going into space. We are in space — we always have been.”“Ignoring the overview is like ignoring gravity.”“Earthrise made a hard year feel possible again.”“The more you preach, the more people harden their worldview against you.”“We’re in a race against time — the Earth can be unforgiving.”Links to Explore Frank White – The Overview EffectApollo 8: Earthrise ArchiveBlue Marble Image (Apollo 17)Send us a text You can find us on Spotify and Apple Podcast!

Christopher Newman, space lawyer extraordinaire

SpaceWatch.Global is pleased to present: The Space Café Podcast #63: Christopher Newman, space lawyer extraordinaire Episode 063 features a special guest: Christopher Newman In this episode, we search space for legal loopholes, and we had fun doing it. Drunk driving in space, the perfect place for the perfect crime, mining moon's diamond core (which there is not) or can I dispute Elon's favorite orbit with my little Space Cafe podcast satellite? These are only a few of many reasonable or absurd provocations with which we want to bring light into the darkness of the wild west in space. Professor Christopher Newman has parried the challenge professionally and, by the way, it is a pleasure to listen to him.
