The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter has returned the first images of the Red Planet from its new orbit. Organisms on Earth release methane during digestion, although geological processes such as the oxidation of minerals can also release methane. ESA / D. Ducros.

These gases could provide evidence for possible biological or geological activity on Mars.
ExoMars is a multi-part European-led program to explore Mars, both on the surface and from above.The program has two phases in the works. A Russian Proton rocket launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome earlier today with humanity's sole mission to Mars for 2016: the European Space Agency's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. Artist view of the ExoMars craft releasing the Schiaparelli lander in October. The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) is a collaborative project between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) to send an atmosphere research orbiter and the Schiaparelli demonstration lander to Mars in 2016 as part of the European-led ExoMars mission. Artist view of the ExoMars craft releasing the Schiaparelli lander in October. NASA's participation in the 2016 ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter includes the "Electra" telecommunication radios. The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, circling the Red Planet since 2019, has returned a wealth of images of Mars, including a photograph of the InSight Lander on the Martian surface. Trace Gas Orbiter deplyed a Mars landing demonstration craft called Schiaparelli. The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) arrived at Mars on Oct. 19, when its companion spacecraft Schiaparelli crash-landed on the planet's surface.
