It is considered that the most likely cause is a bug in the software of the ship or a problem in merging data from different sensors, which may have led the ship to believe he was at a lower height than it is found. This first phase of ExoMars had two goals: to send an orbiter, called Orbiter trace gases, which has been inserted into the planet's orbit successfully, and test technologies landing Schiaparelli facing the second phase, when planning to send mobile exploration vehicle to the surface of Mars would arrive in 2021. the total budget of the mission is about 1,300 mil
