With the (possibly incorrect) thread title as it currently stands, this is a relevant and interesting read.
The interesting part was waiting 12 years for another orbiter to image the landing area to figure out what went wrong with Beagle 2.
If ExoMars/Schiaparelli never sends a signal indicating what happened, would NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter HiRISE camera been able to photograph Schiaparelli (the lander) and figure out what went wrong?
The Beagle 2 is 2 meters across and Schiaparelli has a 2.4 m diameter.
- danielweber 10y agoHow many passes did it take for HiRISE to build up that picture of Beagle 2?
- qznc 10y agoInteresting. The Beagle 2 is 12 pixels on the original fotos. Using mad CSI skills (aka Super-Resolution Restoration) they enhanced it to 100 pixels. http://www.space.com/32691-europe-beagle-2-mars-lander-photos.html http://www.space.com/32691-europe-beagle-2-mars-lander-photo...
