The Colour and Surface Stereo Imaging System (CaSSIS) onboard the 2016 ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO): Planetary Co-Investigator 2025-2028 support for mission operations and science — This project will support the 2016 ExoMars TGO/CaSSIS mission operations and science. Science investigations under the Impact Cratering and Composition & Photometry science theme groups are emphasized herein. Impact cratering has shaped the geology of Mars and influenced volatile exchange between its lithosphere, hydrosphere/cryosphere, and atmosphere. These interactions are recorded in surface minerals revealing a complex history and insights into both past and present processes, climate and habitability.
