On 20-21 October 2015 seventy international scientists, project, and industry engineers gathered at ESTEC, in Noordwijk (NL) for the third ExoMars 2018 Landing Site Selection Workshop (LSSW#3). The workshop was co-organised by ESA and IKI/Roscosmos with the support of the ExoMars 2018 Landing Site Selection Working Group (LSSWG). The goal of the meeting was to review and discuss the merits and challenges of the four candidate landing locations remaining – Mawrth Vallis, Oxia Planum, Hypanis Valles, and Aram Dorsum – and recommend two final candidate landing sites for further detailed study and certification.
The final report with the outcome of the meeting is available here.
