Same information is in last report from 22.1.2013 (which isn't available for general public).

It is now confirmed that ESA will go with one Russian built EDL system for the Exomars rover for a mission in 2018.

Well, I suppose that's the end of Exomars then...

Not quite. This only affects the 2018 rover mission. The TGO orbiter and EDL demo,
assuming their Proton launch goes as planned in Jan 2016, have been, and are being, developed
wholly within ESA. I am not aware of any major hurdles or question marks
regarding that part of the Exomars project (apart from meeting the Jan 2016 deadline, that is).

Good news from the newest ESA's bulletin:

The EDM will also include a camera.

"The entry, descent and landing demonstrator module that will fly on the 2016 ExoMars mission has been named 'Schiaparelli' in honour of the Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli, who famously mapped the Red Planet's surface features in the 19th century."

First I've heard about a Meridiani landing site! Presumably chosen for the flatness of the terrain, given that its a pure EDL test?

As an Italian, I am proud of the name choice; however, I didn't find any decent image nor details about Schiaparelli lander... Quite strange for a mission which should be launched only 3 years from now! unsure.gif

A map (rather poor resolution) copied & enlarged from the latter of those papers linked by Phil Stooke, names some familiar features located just inside or at the fringe of the landing ellipse(s). Maybe means not much in real life, but some interesting possibilities do arise in mind...

While an actual traffic jam in Meridiani is not likely, it's admittedly fun to imagine a future in which it were a problem smile.gif
