CLUPI (Close-Up Imager) is a miniaturized camera system on board the planned European Space Agency Rosalind Franklin rover. CLUPI has been designed to acquire high-resolution close-up images in colour of soils, outcrops, rocks, drill fines and drill core samples,[2] as well as and the search for potential biosignature structures and patterns.[3] This camera assembly is part of the science payload on board the European Space Agency's Rosalind Franklin rover,[4] tasked to search for biosignatures and biomarkers on Mars. The rover is planned to be launched not earlier than 2028 and land on Mars in 2029.
