Official twitter report from 20/10/2016 10:00 press conference

​

  • ESA's @janwoerner: @ESA_TGO is a cornerstone mission for #ExoMars - our orbiter is in excellent shape

  • .@ESA_TGO is crucial as a relay station for the 2020 #ExoMars mission

  • Andrea Accomazzo: Our @ESA_TGO orbiter is working perfectly - we had a great orbit insertion #ExoMars

  • We are ready to perform initial science at #Mars #ExoMars @ESA_TGO

  • @ESA_TGO will conduct aerobraking to get into its science orbit - 2nd successful orbit insertion after #MarsExpress

  • We've downloaded data from @ESA_EDM entry & descent #ExoMars - heatshield worked perfectly

  • ESA's Andrea Accomazzo: We already see that everything worked as planned up to a certain point #ExoMars

  • ESA's Andrea Accomazzo: From an engineering test standpoint, these data are exactly what your want. They're extremely valuable #ExoMars

  • Data analysis is ongoing, but it will take more time to get a full picture #ExoMars @ESA_EDM

  • ESA's David Parker: We have 100kg of scientific instruments in orbit around Mars #ExoMars

  • We've demonstrated that @ESA_TGO's second mission - data relay - is working, as we got the data from @ESA_EDM #ExoMars

  • We need to understand what happened in the last few seconds before the landing - a lot to learn from this valuable test landing #ExoMars

  • .@janwoerner: We got the data, we did the test, so I am very happy @ESA_EDM #ExoMars

  • Andrea Accomazzo: V. difficult to say condition of @ESA_EDM We will be able to determine the dynamics l8r, after all data analysed #ExoMars

  • Overflights by @NASAJPL's #MRO have not gotten any data from @ESA_EDM - more overflights are planned #ExoMars

  • #ExoMars Proj Mngr Don McCoy: We'll keep monitoring the lander - we have more overflight slots planned, but we may reduce these

  • Accomazzo: From the data, we saw the @ESA_EDM thrusters firing for a few seconds - more analysis to come #ExoMars

  • Accomazzo: I am extremely confident that we'll be able to fully understand what happened to @ESA_EDM #ExoMars

  • Accomazzo: We also saw that the ground radar was activated and providing data to @ESA_EDM #ExoMars

  • Accomazzo: We expect @NASAJPL orbiters to attempt imaging the @ESA_EDM landing site in the coming days #ExoMars

  • Accomazzo: @ESA_EDM stopped transmitting on the order of ~50secs before the expected touch-down time #ExoMars

  • Parachute descent appears to have gone absolutely nominal #ExoMars

  • Accomazzo: Doppler data (recorded by #MarsExpress) does not correspond to the data reported by @ESA_EDM - we are analysing this #ExoMars

  • Accomazzo: We have all the data that @ESA_EDM transmitted #ExoMars

  • McCoy: The #AMELIA instrument team believe that most of their data were collected. We'll see #ExoMars
