Okay, we now have definitive pictures of VL1, 2, Spirit, Opportunity, and a Pathfinder coming up soon. So, now, what would the lost landers look like, starting with Beagle, MPL, and Mars 6, which will be the easiest to find of the landers. Just curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Could be usefull I've got a segment of the B2 failure report that suggests, if it just splatted in without chute etc - total feature about 5 - 6m across. A crater approx 1.5 metres across, with a rim of about 7cm - think Genesis impact sort of scale. Doug |

I just found it ironic that you sent a link to a website from the department that I work at. Wow, I didn't know LPL had QUITE so much fun stuff. Still, it shoulld be useful. It will be quite a challenge to find the lost probes, assuming indeed that they are lost, but who knows, we might have a chance somehow. We'll at least give it a shot. Who knows what'll happen. |
