ExoMars - the mission to search for life on Red Planet will land on this planet in 2021 - at 1 or 2 locations.

"After much controversy, we decided that the ExoMars will land at Oxia Planum or Mawrth Vallis" - Frances Westhall - head of the Molecular Biology Research Center, Orleans, France. The landing site is what makes scientists and engineers argue quite a lot because of the two locations selected, one is quite geologically diverse, while the other is less rocky, easy for work. The position of the explorer ship.

This ExoMars mission on Mars is worth billions of dollars.

However, both locations have many geological layers, opening up many opportunities to find traces of life that once existed on Mars.

"We like the geologic layer because it contains organic material and preserves it," Westhall said.

Difficult life forms can be found on Mars's arid and radioactive surface, but traces of methane in the planet's atmosphere indicate that something is hidden deep beneath the surface. this planet - that could be single-celled bacteria.

The task of finding life signs from ancient times (3.6 billion years ago) on Mars this time of the ExoMars is worth billions of dollars.

The Mars explorer is about the size of a car, equipped with a drill, wheels, and legs to carry out eight excavations within six months, with a distance of about ten kilometers.
