Drilling on Mars: Eni-owned Tecnomare Provides Key Technology For ExoMars2018

Eni is involved in the ExoMars space mission by the European and Russian Space Agencies, developing a drilling system to explore Martian soil. Mars’s weak atmosphere doesn’t offer much protection from radiation and sunlight, so organic molecules are more likely to have been preserved underground than on the surface. The Rover will search for these molecules to see if they provide any hints that life existed on the planet.

Eliminating import duties and reducing transportation costs can also improve profitability, enabling manufacturers to lower product prices and finance new R&D. In short, manufacturers are looking at the total cost of off-versus-re-shoring and seeing
