@J Fincannon, the UK built “Beagle 2” ESA mission aimed to search for extant life… The mission failed when it failed to deploy all its solar panels, although it made a successful soft landing, and deployed 2 of its 4 solar panels. The 2 failed deployments covered it’s communications antenna, and contact was never made.
It is worth noting that even though the little lander got a piggy back on the Mars Express orbiter, the mission cost was only $120 million.

The ESA Exomars 2022 mission will directly search for extinct and extant life, with a drill that, if all goes according to plan, will drill around 6′ deep and is designed primarily to search for organics.
This rover is the ESA’s James Webb… The original concept called for a rover to be launched in 2009.. one ironic point is that US involvement was pulled in 2012 due to cost over runs on the James Webb.
I’m all crossed fingers for this mission, even tho the launch vehicle, and landing platform are built by Roscosmos. I mean, given the Russians excellent recent record in all things space, what could possibly go wrong?

What about the Chinese or ESA? Surely one of them could do it.
