the European space Agency has released an animation of the main phases of a mission to Mars ExoMars. Seven-month flight to fit in two and a half minutes and clearly showed all the "gestures" that are waiting spacecraft since the start of the Earth.

launch the rocket with the scientific equipment is planned in the period from 14 to 25 March this year. Ten and a half hours after launch the device will separate from the rocket and will deploy their solar wings. Two weeks later, we will deploy the antenna with high gain. The road to Mars will take approximately seven months. Experimental Schiaparelli landing module will separate from the Trace Gas Orbiter (Mars science orbital vehicle) and rush to the planet's surface.

while the TGO will be out of orbit to study the impurities in the atmosphere of Mars. In particular, it will be interested in the point of emergence of methane. Their source may be living organisms, and various minerals. Subsequently these points will be sent to the Martian Rover.
