OK then.

Is it Swiss?

Looking at the ground beneath it, it seems to be some kind of Martian lander.

That malt worked quickly....yes the manufacturers name is that of one of the elements from the periodic table.

So just 118 to go through if my memory serves me well!

Once anyone works out the name of the manufacturer I would suggest you don't broadcast it until you have worked out the model as well...!
