*ExoMars 2016 consists of the Trace Gas Orbiter and the Schiaparelli Lander. It is a joint ESA/Russian mission.

The Schiaparelli Lander will land 2016 Oct 19 in Meridiani Planum at 6°W and 2°S using aero breaking, parachute and propulsive landing system.

The landing site is just NW of Endeavour Crater, where since 2011 Opportunity rover is exploring.

On 2016 Oct 16 the lander separated from the orbiter. On 2016 Oct 19 the radiosignals stopped just before landing.

%Mars orbits. Using aerodynamic drag the orbit will be lowered to around 400 km circular by the end of 2017.

#After spacecraft separation the stage made a pair of avoidance manoeuvres to get away from Exomars and also missing Mars.

Based on photos taken by the OASI observatory in Brazil is seems that the Breeze-M stage broke up after the 1st avoidance burn. Six large pieces and several smaller are visible on the photos close to ExoMars.

Unberthed 2016 Jun 14.488 and at 2016 Jun 14.563 released from the robotic arm. The SAFFIRE experiment (fire experiment inside a bosx in the Cygnus)was conducted and on 2016 June 20 21 4 of the 5 Lemur-2 Cubesats were released, one failed to deploy.

Cygnus OA-6 was de-orbited over the Pacific Ocean.

The Atlas-5 2nd stage(Centaur)was de-orbited in first orbit over the Ocean south of Australia.It decayed farther east than predicted due to a minute

longer burn of the Centaur caused by a 5 sec shorter burn of the 1st stage. It ran out of fuel during the de-orbit burn.
