ExoMars Lander on it Way to Martian Surface

The European Space Agency's ExoMars mission just started its main mission - landing on Mars.  The lander craft left the spacecraft (Trace Gas Orbiter) yesterday and started its three-day descent.  The lander is the first step before a rover arrives in 2020. 

While Mars missions have been fickle over the years, the news so far is good.  Let's hope the traffic in Mars continues. 

You can follow the mission at this ESA site.
