In 2007–2009, CNES (French Space Agency) and ESA (European Space Agency) had planned to send a remote sensing orbiter and four small Netlanders to Mars. They planned to land them in four locations. The CNES and ESA cancelled this mission because it was too expensive; both agencies planned to send other orbiters and landers for missions like ExoMars.
The Landers' mission was to take pictures of the landing site and explore Mars's internal surface and atmosphere. Each of the four landers was to carry instruments for the following measurements: Seismometer, IPG, France Panoramic camera, DLR, Germany Atmospheric sensors, FMI, Finland Atmospheric electricity sensor, CETP, France geodesic and ionospheric measurements, GRGS, France Soil properties measurements, University of Münster, Germany Ground Penetrating Radar, CETP, France Magnetometer, CETP, France Microphone, University of California, Berkeley, US
