jan 10, 2015 - Beagle 2 Mystery
is Solved
Description:
The Beagle 2's fate remained a mystery until January 2015 when it was located intact on the surface of Mars in a series of images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter HiRISE camera. Scientists infer that two of the spacecraft's four solar panels failed to deploy after landing, which blocked the spacecraft's communications antenna.
