According to online sources, the state corporation Roscosmos and the Russian Academy of Sciences are exploring the possibility of exploring Mars, taking into account the backlog of the ExoMars-2022 mission. This is reported by the TASS news agency with reference to the data of the press service of Roskosmos.
“Specialists of the state corporation Roscosmos and the Russian Academy of Sciences are exploring the possibility of exploring Mars, taking into account the groundwork created as part of the ExoMars project, including the possibility of attracting foreign partners,” the press service of the state corporation said .
The report notes that the European Space Agency has flatly rejected Russia's proposal to launch the ExoMars mission in 2024 or 2026. According to available data, ESA plans to independently launch the rover in October 2028. “Considering that the entire world science has lost the ExoMars-2022 mission, and also that the Russian scientific instruments (ADRON-RM and ISEM) installed on the European rover of the ExoMars-2022 mission will be dismantled as part of the work on mutual return equipment, we can only wish our colleagues from the ESA to successfully launch the rover in October 2028 without our participation , ”the Roscosmos press service commented on this issue.
In July last year, ESA announced the termination of cooperation with Roskosmos within the framework of the ExoMars program. In Russia, then they announced the possibility of implementing their part of the project at the national level or with the involvement of partners from friendly countries. In November last year, Roscosmos CEO Yuri Borisov announced that ESA had completely abandoned cooperation with Russia on Mars exploration.
