Wreckage of Beagle found scattered in Mars crater
Talk about being unlucky assuming this is confirmed. |

Hmmmm...
So there was no error or malfunction of the lander. But it seems that landing into hollowed places is not uncommon. Imagine it had landed a bit more to the right, in the larger crater... rolling all along the slope, to end up bogged into a dune in the bottom. This is, I think, a lesson to retain: we cannot design landers able to land only into ideal flat places. The landers must be able to land into harsh places, including craters and slopes. |
