First pics from #ExoMars! The Trace Gas Orbiter, a joint endeavour between ESA and Roscosmos, arrived at Mars on 19 October and has spent the last week testing its four science instruments for the first time since arrival. Data from the first orbit has been made available to show range of observations to be expected once the spacecraft arrives in its near-circular 400 km-altitude orbit next year.
