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.

Hmm...after a quck glance nothing on these pictures seems to be a sign from Beagle. Otherwise, the crater is indeed an interesting feature. Look at the walls - what could this be? Hematite?

There are two HiRISE images labeled as being Beagle 2 related sites. One of them, 2347_1915, clearly crosses the ellipse, and includes the dark crater imaged by MOC. The other one, 2136_1920, is centered 0.1 degree of latitude north and 0.2 degrees of longitude east, or about 6 and 12 plus or minus 3 kilometers north and east, of the first one. I am having a hard time locating this on the best MOC context image I can find. Is it out of the ellipse drawn by the MOC team?
Here is the MOC ellipse at 30 m/pixel: Here is 2347_1915 at 30 m/pixel: And here is 2136_1920 at 30 m/pixel: --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

So... it's sure that Beagle 2 is not in this area... or am I wrong?

Well - I've not looked at every sq. foot of the >1GB that those two images include....but I intend to.

Sorry to be brutal - but with that spec, it's just not worth it. I use a package recommended here - http://hiroc.lpl.arizona.edu/images/jp2.html - called OpenEV. 1.7 Ghz Centrino CPU and 2 Gb of ram is barely enough.

I am working on cutting up the part of the .jp2 that crosses the ellipse into more manageable chunks of 30-40 MB each in PNG format. I'll post those on the blog by the end of the day today, so if your computer or your modem (or your patience) can't manage the 800 MB .jp2 files, wait for those.

Notice what apparently is a large boulder/ejecta block at the 11 o'clock position of the crater. I'm reminded of House Rock at the Apollo 16 landing site. |

To be fair you posted a link to "Astronaut Charles Duke stands at rock adjacent to "House Rock""
