Where did you find info about the pressure they tested at? I don't see it at https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EPSC-DPS2025/EPSC-DP... or https://phys.org/news/2025-09-tumbleweed-rover-technology-ma...

The phys.org article mentions it: "[...] the team carried out static and dynamic tests in a wind tunnel with a variety of wind speeds and ground surfaces under a low atmospheric pressure of 17 millibars.
Results showed that wind speeds of 9–10 meters per second were sufficient to set the rover in motion over a range of Mars-like terrains, including smooth and rough surfaces, sand, pebbles and boulder field."
Ah, thanks, I missed that. It's weird how that information is in the phys.org article but not in the linked abstract. I guess that's because it's just an abstract -- they must have given more details during the presentation.
