2020 Mission Landing Site Selection Working Group (LSSWG)
The Landing Site Selection Working Group is a team of scientific and engineering experts from academia and industry whose job is to recommend a landing site for the ExoMars Rover and Surface Platform. This proceeds via a coordinated landing site selection process that involves maximising the potential scientific return of the mission while adhering to engineering parameters.
