Europe's Schiaparelli robot responds successfully to Mars
The Schiaparelli robot of the European Aeronautics Agency (ESA) in collaboration with the Russian Space Agency Roscomos safely landed on the surface of Mars at 23:39 on October 19, Vietnam time.
Thus, after flying more than 500 million kilometers from the Earth, the 600-pound Schiaparelli robot landed on Mars safely.
The Schiaparelli robot takes six minutes from entering the Martian atmosphere until it lands on the surface. During this time, the Schiaparelli robot must use a heat-resistant shield and combine with many boosters to "land" safely to the Martian surface with the abdomen.

Shortly after landing on Mars, the Schiaparelli robot emitted UHF signals (signals at very high frequencies) and was captured by the Indian radio station, then transferred to Darmstadt, Germany.
Shiaparelli's mission only lasted a few days, which was to use all the remaining batteries to measure atmospheric parameters at Mars. The mother ship carrying Shiaparelli will continue to fly around Mars orbit to gather information about methane and many other gases to trace life.
Schiaparelli's mission to land on Mars is not a study but plays a draft of ESA to perform a larger task, bringing a six-wheeled robot to Mars by 2021.

When the Schiaparelli robot responds successfully, ESA will use all the parameters of Schiaparelli to apply to six-wheeled robots - expected to land on Mars in 2021. The task of this solar-powered six-wheeled robot is to drill deep into the Mars face to search for traces of life.
In 2014, NASA's Curiosity detected a huge methane reservoir in Mars. And ESA scientists hope the robot's mission in 2021 will help discover where this methane pool is.
The Schiaparelli robot is named after Italian scientist Giovanni Schiaparelli, who mapped the Martian surface in the 19th century and was the first to describe the "grooves" on this planet, causing a good debate. Not residents on Mars.In the past, more than half of the flights from Earth to Mars failed, went missing, lost to or broke when they answered.
There are currently two NASA robots, Curiosity and Opportunity, operating on the surface of Mars. NASA plans to bring one more robot to Mars in February 2021. In 2017, Mars One began training astronauts with plans to bring people to Mars in the mid-2020s.
