EDIT: Moved these posts from the Feb 14 HiRISE Release thread to here to collect all Beagle 2 search related stuff in one place.
I'm downloading them now too -- guess I can't blog about them until I've examined them very carefully! For a bit of history on the search, Here's a blog entry I wrote about this spot a while ago Here's the MOC team's take on that spot And here's the BBC page with the Beagle 2 team's take on it EDIT: and here's my updated blog entry with links to the Beagle 2 landing ellipse images split up into 40-MB chunks. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Did you read my last post? You guys are way too eager to jump to conclusions without much knowledge of the engineering realities involved. I haven't seen a detailed analysis of the Beagle aeroshell design, but certainly the independent JPL review said nothing about this, so if it was an error, it was a subtle one, not a stupid and obvious one. OK I take your point, mcplinger...but please, no need to jump down the throats of us lesser mortals who are not aerospace engineers. I do still hold to my belief that a very limited budget and limited resources to the B2 team was what ultimately contributed to Beagle 2's demise on Mars. As I've heard the saying, you can have two of the three ..."faster, better, cheaper" ... any two, but not all three. |
