On Monday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan launched rocket Proton-M, which will be in the space lander "Schiaparelli EDM" and the ExoMars probe. The device will search for signs of life on Mars and explore the planet's weather conditions.

The building located in the poll research tools were also involved Polish scientists and indigenous companies. The flight will last seven months.

Mission ExoMars will carry out the European Space Agency (RSA) and the Russian Federation Space Agency - Roskosmos. Scientists hope that the mission will help them in the search for biological traces of life on Mars. It consists of four platform space, which will be sent toward the Red Planet in two rounds.

About hrs. 10.31 Polish time from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the Russian Proton-M rocket was in space lander "Schiaparelli EDM", whose task will be to study meteorological conditions on Mars. The second part of the day sent into space will be artificial satellite "ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter," looking at the planet's surface trace gases related to the life or geological processes. Lander probe will reach Mars in October 2016.

These areas of Mars, which can emit trace amounts of gases to photograph placed on the satellite camera cassis. It was built mainly in Switzerland and Italy, but their contribution to its preparation were also scientists from SRC PAS. Their tasks included, among others, the execution of the power supply to the camera. In turn, the Polish company Creotech Instruments, acting on behalf of CBK PAN, mounted by elements of the power system camera.

Also on the lander Schiaparelli will be Polish accent: infrared detectors manufactured by VIGO System from Ożarów Mazowiecki. It will not be the first task of Polish detectors on Mars. On the Red Planet were already in 2012, as part of a research rover Curiosity.

Schiaparelli will examine, among others, weather conditions during landing on Mars. To conduct tests during re-entry and landing, will be used in the German system, prompting the outer shell of the lander. One of its elements will be just Polish infrared detectors.

The second part of the ExoMars mission will begin in 2018. Then another Russian rocket sends toward Mars rover "ExoMars Rover", which is to look for signs of biological life there. Safe deposition on the surface of the planet will allow him lander "ExoMars Rover Lander." On Mars, they are to be found in the 2019 years. In finding a suitable place to the rear of the lander and rover, will help scientists photographs taken and sent previously by said camera cassis. (PAP)
