Overview
Schiaparelli is the ExoMars Entry, Descent and Landing Demonstrator Module (EDM) designed to provide Europe with technology for landing on the surface of Mars with controlled landing orientation and touchdown velocity. It was designed to test critical technologies including thermal protection materials, parachute systems, radar Doppler altimeter systems, and liquid propulsion braking systems. Although Schiaparelli was expected to survive only briefly on Mars due to limited battery capacity, it carried scientific sensors for performing limited surface science observations.
