By the time Rosalind Franklin lands on Mars the project will have been 29 years in development.

It will launch in 2028 and take 25-26 MONTHS to get to Mars because it "needs to take a low-energy route".

It will, just like the past two NASA rovers, once again be landing in a crater which is thought to be an ancient sea bed. It took five years to select this landing location.

It has a two-meter long drill which will be used to search for life.

This is compared to China's Zhurong rover which was developed and launched in ten years.
