ExoMars is a European space mission to study Mars and to develop the technology and capabilities for future landers and rovers. Scheduled for arrival at Mars in October 2016, it consists of the Trace Gas Orbiter, which will hunt for evidence of methane and other compounds that could be produced by living organisms, and the Schiaparelli lander, which will operate for a day or two before its batteries die. The lander will help the European Space Agency plan for ExoMars 2020, which include a rover.
