    ExoMars 2018 Landing Site Selection Working Group

    The Landing Site Selection Working Group (LSSWG) composition is given in this page. Science members have a yellow and orange colour background, with orange denoting also ExoMars Science Working Team (ESWT) and/or Planetary Protection Working Group (PPWG) representation. Project and Industry members are indicated in blue.

    Additional ExoMars Science Working Team (ESWT) members may be invited to serve in the LSSWG in case this is deemed useful. Likewise, the Project and Industry representation may change depending on the required needs.
