La nave Mars Express de la ESA acaba de cumplir 10 a\u00f1os en el espacio, pero Europa ya est\u00e1 preparando el siguiente paso en la exploraci\u00f3n del planeta rojo. ExoMars, una ambiciosa misi\u00f3n doble, ser\u00e1 una colaboraci\u00f3n entre la ESA y la agencia espacial rusa, Roscosmos. Esto implicar\u00e1 el env\u00edo de diferentes naves espaciales a Marte durante las ventanas de lanzamiento de 2016 y de 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Su objetivo principal ser\u00e1 dar respuesta a una de las preguntas cient\u00edficas sin esclarecer de nuestro tiempo: \u00bfexisti\u00f3 vida en Marte? Adem\u00e1s, ExoMars desarrollar\u00e1 nuevas tecnolog\u00edas europeas para el aterrizaje, desplazamiento y perforaci\u00f3n en superficie, asi como la recolecci\u00f3n de muestras de suelo. Esto allanar\u00e1 el camino para una misi\u00f3n de retorno de muestras de Marte en la d\u00e9cada de 2020.<\/p>\n

La primera misi\u00f3n ExoMars se lanzar\u00e1 en enero de 2016 y llegar\u00e1 a Marte nueve meses despu\u00e9s. Incluye la nave Trace Gas Orbiter, que buscar\u00e1 metano y otros gases que pueden ser indicios de un planeta vivo. El origen de una gran parte del metano de la Tierra son los organismos vivos. Thales Alenia Space est\u00e1 construyendo esta nave en Cannes, Francia.<\/p>\n

Tambi\u00e9n posar\u00e1 el m\u00f3dulo EDM (Entry, Descent and Landing Demonstrator Module, M\u00f3dulo demostrador de entrada, descenso y aterrizaje) sobre la superficie de Marte, que permitir\u00e1 demostrar las tecnolog\u00edas clave necesarias para la misi\u00f3n de 2018 y futuras misiones de aterrizaje. Thales Alenia Space Italia est\u00e1 construyendo el EDM en Tur\u00edn.<\/p>\n

The second mission is scheduled for launch in May 2018, arriving at the planet in early 2019. It will land a rover on Mars – the first one capable of drilling to depths of 2 m and then collecting rock samples. This is essential because radiation and chemicals on the surface can destroy organic materials. This mission will also carry a Surface Platform fitted with scientific instruments to investigate the Martian environment.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
