For 20 years, Véronique Dehant, a space scientist at University of Louvain (UCLouvain) and the Royal Observatory of Belgium, has been working on understanding the Earth’s core. In a few months, she will be able to complete her research by studying the heart of Mars, thanks to the ExoMars mission. Its purpose is to collect Martian radio science data and analyse the planet’s rotation in order to better understand the red planet’s innards and thus determine whether life is feasible on Mars. In the end, for Véronique Dehant, “This UCLouvain research is one more brick in the wall of understanding outer space.”
