Lessons Learned from the Failed Beagle 2 Mars Mission

The Beagle 2 mission aimed to land a craft on Mars but failed after losing contact post-separation from the Mars Express. The lander, added due to extra capacity, couldn't relay data during landing, leaving scientists to theorize the failure's cause. Despite ongoing searches for signals, efforts will soon cease. Experts are planning a new Mars mission for 2007.
