Landing Site Selection Working Group (LSSWG)

The Landing Site Selection Working Group was a team of scientific and engineering experts from academia and industry whose job was to recommend a landing site for the ExoMars Rover and Surface Platform. This proceeded via a coordinated landing site selection process that involved maximising the potential scientific return of the mission while adhering to engineering parameters.
