ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter's decade in Mars orbit

During the decade covered by the record, the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter was in Mars orbit. Its orbit around Mars was elliptical.

The verified facts give the spacecraft's status as a decade in Mars orbit and describe its orbit as elliptical.

The orbiter searched for methane and other trace atmospheric gases.

It also tested key technologies for future Mars missions. The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover mission is separately identified as a future Mars mission.

The facts show a long-duration Mars-orbit operation, a search for methane and other trace gases, and testing of technologies relevant to later Mars missions.

The Rosalind Franklin rover mission's future status adds a verified future Mars mission item to the record.

The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover mission is identified as a future Mars mission.
