Back in 1998, I worked for a NASA subcontractor and the project was a "Martian propellant" rocket engine, using CO2/magnesium metal powder as the oxidiser/fuel combination. In 2002/3, I worked on a study for ESA on Mars sample returing using ISRU propellant and my Mars ascent vehicle was two-stage where the lower stage was "Martian propellant". But, in this case, the magnesium metal powder was brought from Earth and the CO2 was produced on Mars.

I‘m happy to see NASA and ESA working together. Only recently did ESA’s Ariane 5 rocket launch JWST, ESA builds the service module for Orion, they’ll collaborate on the lunar gateway and have a long history with the ISS… I look forward to more teamwork in the future! (greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 :D)

AFTER its in orbit they will be able to use telemetry and match the samples orbit with the return orbiter. .
