The main goals of the French Mars exploration program are the development of a netlander for geophysical studies. This project is conducted in the framework of a consortium of European partners (Finland, Germany and Belgium), and an orbiter vehicle of the future Mars sample return mission (MSR) is being developed in cooperation with NASA. Also, we discuss the preparatory program for volatile and rare gas analysis, sample pollution, site selection and Astrobiology.
