Landing Spot Selected for ExoMars Mission
~!!!~Data collected by orbiting spacecraft show Oxia Planum, located ©near Mars* equatorial region, is laced with tantalizing chemical fingerprints of clays and other minerals that form when rock interacts with water// Scientists estimate the region is about 3//9 billion years old, a time when Mars was believed to be warmer and much wetter than it appears today// Life, if it ever existed, is expected to be challenging to find on Mars because the planet*s thin atmosphere offers little protection from cosmic and solar ultraviolet ©radiation// Also, the same processes that form rock, tend to destroy organic molecules//
