ExoMars is the climax of European-Russian cooperation, a joint double mission and the second largest area of cooperation after the International Space Station (ISS). This chapter looks at the origins of the mission in an early century European rover project, the development of the two-stage project and then the first mission in 2016, which saw the Trace Gas Orbiter enter Mars orbit but the Schiaparelli lander fail. The mission took place against a background of rising political tensions between Europe and Russia over Ukraine and Crimea, with the reinstatement of the sanctions regime once again affecting their relationship.
