European Mars lander starts descent to Red Planet
A European lander is headed for Mars as part of a mission to search the Red Planet for signs of life.
Schiaparelli has started its descent to Mars after separating itself from the unmanned Trace Gas Orbiter and quitting the mothership ExoMars. The lander is scheduled to touch down on Mars Wednesday, after a three-day solo trip and a seven-month journey. The test stationary lander’s arrival is only the first phase of the project and its sole job is to pave the way for a rover.
The rover which is set to drill into mars to scour it for alien life will not be launched before 2020. The Martian probe is a joint mission of the European Space Agency and the Russian Federal Space Agency.
