ExoMars 2016 arriving at Mars
The paths of the ExoMars 2016 Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) and the Schiaparelli entry, descent and landing demonstrator module arriving at Mars on 19 October (right and left, respectively). The counter begins at the start of a critical engine burn that TGO must conduct in order to enter Mars orbit. The altitude above Mars is also indicated, showing the arrival of Schiaparelli on the surface and the subsequent trajectory of TGO. The orbiter’s initial 4-day orbit will be about 250 x 100 000 km. Starting in December 2016, the spacecraft will perform a series of aerobraking manoeuvres to steadily lower it into a circular, 400 km orbit (not shown here).

Nice Video I love ExoMars 2016 !
Why did you decide that strange orbit for Trace Gas Orbiter?
The ESA is so great, I'm happy they've been doing so much recently! Here's to many more interplanetary missions from them!
What? The TGO will perform aerobraking? It is equiped with some sort of heat shield? How will the solar panels behaves within Mars' atmospehre? What will be the altitude of these aerobraking manoeuver?
this is as far i can get on kerbal space program, i cant land and get back :(((
nice video, but a bit more sound next time
=D
Earth, wait until the completion of this mission without any shocks!
Live in peace!
People, stop killing each other! Unite to achieve great goals! Love one another as your own children – and you will be lovede by Nature! Tsiolkovsky and Bradbury dreamed just about this!
Let it be!

That awkward moment when the ESA video team cause the ExoMars lander to burn up upon descent.
I can do it in 3dsmax
GOD BLESS HOLY RUSSIA FOR EXOMARS MISSION TOO
Where is the info on the decent of the Trace Gas Orbiter?
