Beagle 2, the British spacecraft is discovered from the surface of Mars. The spacecraft was lost during the search Mars mission nearly 11 years ago. The chief objective of the spacecraft was to explore the physical properties of Martian atmosphere.
The spacecraft of European Space Agency was intended to land on Mars on 25th of December 2005. However, it lost all contacts from the space agency on the 19th of December. The government space agency tried numerous times to find out Beagle 2 but in vain.
A few researchers thought that high velocity of the planet destroyed the probe.
On Friday, the London Royal Society of Scientific Institution announced that the Mars lander has been located on the surface of Mars. NASA has identified the Lander in the Mars images of Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
David Parker, CEO of the UK Space Agency expressed with excitement that Beagle 2 is not lost anymore. He informs that scientists found strong evidences that the spacecraft is still present on planet Mars. As per the proofs, the spacecraft safely landed on the Red planet on 25th of December 2003. Initially, the former scientists of the Mars express team detected the spacecraft. Later, they worked together with the engineering team of Beagle-2.
Unfortunately, the spacecraft is discovered a year after the death of its chief investigator. Colin Pillinger, the planetary scientists died at the age of 70 in 2014.
