"followed by separation using four GC-MS spectrometers" It is a four column containing GC-MS so there are four columns, but only one mass spectrometer. --Stone (talk) 19:31, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake. Thanks for the correction. BatteryIncluded (talk) 23:41, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have a little more insight into Exomars and MOMA. No problem! --Stone (talk) 06:06, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ExoMars (rover) → Rosalind Franklin (rover) – The official name of the rover. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 11:08, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support, if accurate (~~not seeing a name change at the ESA or NASA websites~~ per below), and an official rename would be a nice gesture on the part of all involved. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:52, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Randy Kryn: Good news; we now have an official press release from ESA that explicitly names the rover as Rosalind Franklin, so I'd now can say with confidence that it is indeed accurate! Its informal names as written in the press release are "Rosalind" and "Rosalind the rover". – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 11:57, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nice, thanks. Looks to be the second Mars lander/rover named after a person, after the failed Schiaparelli EDM lander (and support per the Schiaparelli lander). With an official announcement this could possible be a noncontroversial move. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:03, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – Too soon to ascertain whether this WP:OFFICIALNAME will become the WP:COMMONNAME. Let's review sources after a couple months. No clarity whether it will end up as Rosalind Franklin or just Rosalind. — JFG ^talk 12:59, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@JFG: It is officially Rosalind Franklin. It's difficult to argue that there is a clear common name among "ExoMars" (current name of the article), "ExoMars rover", "ExoMars 2020 rover", and "ESA Mars rover", and in the absence of a clear common name, the official name should do. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 13:12, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is indeed unclear what the common name currently is. More reason to wait and look at how sources react to the name change. That's what we usually do per WP:NAMECHANGES. — JFG ^talk 14:12, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support – per supporting comments above, and per BBC News report^[1] - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 14:28, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Their toy. Their name. ExoMars is the project, the spacecraft have their own names. Guaranteed it will become the common name for the rover. Keep the redirects. Non-controversial move IMO. Rowan Forest (talk) 14:37, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The Schiaparelli EDM lander was is called Schiaparelli, not Giovanni Schiaparelli; similarly Galileo spacecraft is not known simply as Galileo Galilei; and the probe BepiColombo was not named Giuseppe 'Bepi' Colombo. What I am saying is that although the rover is also named after a person, Rosaling Franklin, it is already being applied simply as Franklin rover by the British BBC News. I would name the article name Franklin (rover). Cheers, Rowan Forest (talk) 14:43, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
