this is a real image of a Ferrari F2002 F1 car and a 575M Maranello below a model of ESA's Mars Express spacecraft at the ESTEC test facilities. Ferrari teamed up with ESA to attach a small sample of Ferrari red paint on mars express.

Driving force behind Mars Express

The Ferrari Red Paint will not be the only thing breaking all speed records when it hurtles towards the Red Planet on-board the Mars Express

On 15 February, #RosettaLegacy top-prize winner Cristina Romero visited the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC), ESA’s technical heart in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, as part of her award.

Cristina is greatly inspired by space missions like ESA’s Rosetta and dreams of studying aerospace engineering: http://rosetta-legacy.tumblr.com/post/151460034152/

Cristina had a great time visiting the facilities, learning about space science and exploration, and meeting ESA scientists Matt Taylor (Rosetta project scientist), Olivier Witasse (JUICE project scientist), Ana Heras (PLATO study scientist) and Johannes Benkhoff (BepiColombo project scientist).

We at ESA greatly enjoyed Cristina’s visit. Space science & exploration are truly inspiring!
