This system is also much more precise: while the Mars Exploration Rovers could have landed anywhere within their respective 93-mile by 12-mile (150 by 20 kilometer) landing ellipses, Mars Science Laboratory landed within a 12-mile (20-kilometer) ellipse. [7] Mars 2020 has even more precise system, and landing ellipse of 7.7 by 6.6 km. [8]
By March 2013, the spacecraft was scheduled to launch in 2018 with a Mars landing in early 2019. [14] Delays in European and Russian industrial activities and deliveries of scientific payloads forced the launch to be pushed back.
