- Abstract
The European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos ExoMars 2018 joint mission is planned to deliver a rover and a surface platform to the surface of Mars. The rover's payloads are designed to search for signs of life; those of the surface platform are to conduct environmental and geophysical measurements. A necessary condition for meeting these objectives is to land safely at a scientifically appropriate location. This article describes the procedure followed by the two agencies to select a suitable landing site for the mission.
