Europe's ExoMars mission, aiming for a 2028 Mars landing, faces a long and complex history. Initially planned for 2011 with various launch vehicle changes (Soyuz, Atlas V, Proton), the mission's success remains uncertain due to geopolitical issues, budget constraints, and evolving design. Airbus will now design the lander, launching on a US rocket. The over $1.3 billion mission represents Europe's third attempt at a successful Mars landing.
