(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 07 - The Council of Countries member of the European Space Agency (ESA), which will meet on 16 and 17 March, will take the decision on the fate of the ExoMars mission directed to Mars, organized jointly with the Russian space agency Roscosmos .
This was announced by ESA.
The risk of a new postponement could postpone the departure of the mission for another two years.
In fact, this is the time interval necessary for Mars to be again in a favorable position with respect to the Earth.
However, the dependence on the Russian launcher and the landing vehicle, also this Russian one, raises other questions.
