ExoMars Mission

The effects of the novel-coronavirus outbreak are extending into the final frontier.

European and Russian space leaders have decided to postpone the launch of the ExoMars rover until 2022 due to issues with its parachutes and electronic equipment.

Preparations to launch the ExoMars rover to the Red Planet this summer are in a crunch as critical parachute tests have again been delayed.

Why is Mars dry? Water might escape the atmosphere more effectively than previously thought, potentially helping to explain how the Red Planet lost its vast oceans.

The European-Russian ExoMars 2020 mission will have to find some parachute fixes fast if it wants to be ready for launch next summer.

Feel like going for a spin around Mars? A new video shows a 3D view of where the European-Russian ExoMars rover will land, in a region that was likely filled with water billions of years ago.

Rippling, dark-flecked sand dunes near Mars' north pole look like melting chocolate-chip ice cream in an image captured by the European-Russian Trace Gas Orbiter.

Europe hopes a robot called Rosalind Franklin will become its first rover on Mars, but the spacecraft has some big tests to pass before it launches next year.

The complex, ambitious plan involves two rovers, a lander, an orbiter and an unprecedented launch off the Martian surface.

The first findings from the ExoMars orbiter show no signs of methane in Mars' atmosphere.

We may be one step closer to cracking the Mars methane mystery.

The Russian-built landing platform for the ExoMars rover now has a name: 'Kazachok.'

Drilling for signs of life on Mars, as two rover missions plan to do soon, is a pretty sound strategy, a new study suggests.

The UK Space Agency has launched a public competition to name the U.K.-built ExoMars rover, which is scheduled to launch toward the Red Planet on a life-hunting mission in 2020.

Europe's upcoming Mars rover features a powerful toaster oven-size lab that will search for signs of life on the Red Planet.

The largest-ever parachute bound for Mars, which will land Europe's ExoMars rover on the surface of the Red Planet in 2021, passed the first in a series of tests in Sweden.
