launch its mission to mars called ExoMars. The multi-million-euro mission calls for a rover weighing just over 200kg
that can trundle over the martian soil in search of past and present life. Now prime landing spots have
been selected, the list includes two sites at Meridiani Planum, the flat expanse near Mars' equator where Nasa's Opportunity
found possible evidence for an ancient sea. Since on the early Earth, all the primordial biochemistry took place in phyllosilicates, some kind of mineral that is a good matrix for preserving organic matter. That is the best place to start looking for fossil life." Link to Original Source
