Mars mission targets Monday launch
This new written by Jonathan Amos explains the launch of Europe's mission to Mars.
ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter is set to launch a Proton rocket on Monday 14th. The
purpose of the satellite is to control the atmosphere and detect anomalies.
They have also been proposed Investigate and know the methane, which could
contain microbial life. "All the preparation milestones have been achieved
as per the nominal schedule," Walter Cugno from the lead European
contractor, Thales Alenia Space, told BBC News.
In addition, it will take 10 hours
to get to the end point. The time of stay on Mars is 3 months. Then, three days
out from arrival, it will land on Mars. Its aim is to test some instruments and
Engineers see as the ship lands. They will use the Schiaparelli method
to land. "This technology development is very important," said Esa's
director of science, Prof Alvaro Gimenez. This method has all kinds of
technology.
After
landing, the TGO will spend traveling around the planet 400 km radius for one
year. With this
it will get a detailed report of air gas on Mars such as
methane, water vapour, nitrogen dioxide, and sulphur dioxide... But
methane is the main focus. Most of the methane in
Earth's atmosphere comes from living organisms, and it is not a ludicrous
suggestion that microbes might also be driving emissions on Mars.

Personal Opinion
It is beneficial technology will be used to important issues like this one. Looking for life out of Earth is important to our culture and it enriches our humanity because technology has to be used to make a better world.
