Russia and Europe Agree on Mars Missions

Russia and Europe have come to further agreement on their planned joint venture to visit Mars.

In 2016 they plan to launch a satellite which will search for methane emissions.

Then in 2018 a rover mission will be the goal.

Europe had feared they would have to cancel their ExoMars plans, after the US dropped out of the program.

But Russia has gladly jumped in, to fill the place of the US.

Russia already is working on several moon missions, on their own.
