ESA's Beagle 2 Hits Signal Snag

Posted by michael on from the mars-curse dept.

Talking Goat writes "Space.com is reporting that the European Space Agency has run into a bit of a problem with it's recently launched "Beagle 2" spacecraft. An unexpected signal received from the probe has concerned controllers, and has delayed further systems checks. Let's hope this isn't a harbinger of things to come; history hasn't been kind to past Mars probes."
