The Moon is one of the most likely targets of the Aurora Programme, a European long-term plan for the robotic and human exploration of Solar System.
Aurora is part of Europe's strategy for space, endorsed by the European Union Council of Research and the ESA Council in 2001. Future missions under the programme will carry sophisticated exobiology payloads to investigate the possibility of life forms existing on other worlds within the Solar System. The Programme will also provide for the missions and technology necessary to complement those planned in the existing ESA and national programmes, in order to bring about a coherent European framework for exploration and to progressively develop a unified European approach.

ESA has recognized the importance for a Mars sample return mission,
which would provide scientists on Earth with an important opportunity to
examine Mars material in the laboratory. This artist's view shows the Mars Sample Return (MSR) ascent module lifting off from Mars' surface
with the Martian soil samples.
