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."

  1. Another doomed probe? by uncoveror · · Score: 0, Troll

    They just don't get it yet at the ESA, or NASA that the Zhti Ti Kofft are tired of us spying on them. We probably know about as much about Mars as they plan to let us discover.
