It was supposed to be the first European spacecraft to carry out science on Mars, but it now looks likely that the European Space Agency's (ESA) Schiaparelli lander met its end in a destructive high-speed collision at the planet's surface.
Tasks once in orbit will include helping to maintain the 27,000km/h platform and carrying out science experiments in Esa's Columbus laboratory module, which is attached to the front of the 400-tonne complex.
Trips that researchers at the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) accepted from nonfederal sponsors to present data at scientific meetings or institutions were a valid part of carrying out science and did not violate any federal rules.

Last week, Prof Ouyang Ziyuan told the BBC's science editor David Shukman that the mission would test key technology and carry out science, adding: "In terms of the talents, China needs its own intellectual team who can explore the whole lunar and solar system - that is also our main purpose".
Through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, our agencies are providing farmers with the financial and technical resources to carry out science-based conservation systems for controlling soil erosion and reducing nutrient loss from farm fields.
Yet historically, this is where much of the still-nascent work on cetacean science was carried out.
