 The missing Mars robot Beagle2 has been found on the surface of the Red Planet, apparently intact. 
  
 High-resolution images taken from orbit have identified its landing location, and it looks to be in one piece. 
  
 The UK-led probe tried to make a soft touchdown on the dusty world on Christmas Day, 2003, using parachutes and airbags - but no radio contact was ever made with the probe. 
  
 Many scientists assumed it had been destroyed in a high-velocity impact. 
  
 The new pictures, acquired by Nasa's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, give the lie to that notion, and hint at what really happened to the European mission. 
  
 Beagle's design incorporated a series of deployable "petals", on which were mounted its solar panels. 
  
 From the images, it seems that this system did not unfurl fully.

 "Without full deployment, there is no way we could have communicated with it as the radio frequency antenna was under the solar panels," explained Prof Mark Sims, Beagle's mission manager from Leicester University. 
  
 "The failure cause is pure speculation, but it could have been, and probably was, down to sheer bad luck - a heavy bounce perhaps distorting the structure as clearances on solar panel deployment weren't big; or a punctured and slowly leaking airbag not separating sufficiently from the lander, causing a hang-up in deployment," he told BBC News. 
  
 The discovery of Beagle comes less than a year after the death of the probe's principal investigator, Colin Pillinger. The Royal Society scientific institution announced an award in commemoration of Prof Pillinger on Friday.

 The Open University scientist was the driving force behind the project, and although his mission never got to explore Mars, he is credited with sparking a huge enthusiasm among the public for space research. 
  
 His wife and fellow Beagle team-member, Dr Judith Pillinger, said: "Colin was always fond of a football analogy. No doubt he would have compared Beagle2 landing on Mars, but being unable to communicate, to having 'hit the crossbar' rather than missing the goal completely. 
  
 "Beagle2 was born out of Colin's quest for scientific knowledge. Had he known the team came so close to scoring he would certainly have been campaigning to 'tap in the rebound' with Beagle3 and continue experiments to answer questions about life on Mars." 
  
 Beagle had a system of deployable "petal" panels 
  
 The outcome will be deeply frustrating to the science and engineering teams behind the project, because they will now realise just how close they came to success. 
  
 Indeed, MRO's data confirms that Beagle landed just 5km from the centre of its targeted touchdown zone. 
  
 This was an ellipse, 500km by 100km, on a flat, near-equatorial plain known as Isidis. To be off-centre by such a small margin amounts to a bulls-eye. 
  
 Mars Express 
  
 Beagle2 was carried to the Red Planet by the European Space Agency's Mars Express (MEx) orbiter, which remains in working order today. 
  
 MEx released the little robot on to its landing trajectory on 19 December 2003. It even snapped a picture of Beagle, in its entry capsule, receding into the distance. What followed was a mystery. 
  
 Various theories were posited for the failure of the probe to make contact after the expected landing time of 02:45 GMT on 25 December. 
  
 The Beagle team itself suspected the robot was caught out by a Martian atmosphere that was thinner than the one for which it had planned. 
  
 This would have meant it was travelling too fast as it approached the surface. 
  
 But the pictures suggest that all elements of the entry, descent and landing (EDL) system did a job. 
  
 Beagle's EDL systems strewn across the surface 
  
 The image features are at the limits of what MRO can see 
  
 But the objects and separations conform to what is expected 
  
 Beagle is partially deployed, with two (max three) petals out 
  
 Backshell with the drogue chute and main chute are close by 
  
 Scenario in images confirms that EDL software did its job 
  
 Beagle's on-surface operations software began its tasks 
  
 Why deployment tasks were not completed is unknown 
  
 Component damage or airbag obstruction are possibilities 
  
 Incomplete deployment meant radio transmitter was blinded 
  
 Nothing can be done to bring the Beagle probe back to life 
  
 The entry capsule clearly protected the probe from the heat of rubbing up against the Martian atmosphere, and the parachutes and bouncing bags must have come out to soften the final approach to the surface. 
  
 In the MRO images, it is even possible to identify some of the EDL elements on the ground close to Beagle. 
  
 Official inquiry 
  
 The Commission of Inquiry - jointly set up by the European Space Agency (Esa) and the forerunner of what is now the UK Space Agency - blamed the failure on a mix of poor management and inadequate testing of systems and components. It also conceded that too little money had been allocated to the Beagle project at its outset. 
  
 With a total budget of near £50m, it remains one of the cheapest interplanetary missions ever devised. 
  
 The report's 19 recommendations included the demand that communications with future probes be maintained through the various descent phases. 
  
 This has become standard practice in recent years, but with Beagle its last contact was essentially that black and white photo of it moving away from the MEx orbiter six days prior to landing. 
  
 When Esa's ExoMars rover tries to land on the surface of the Red Planet in 2019, it will be relaying information all the way down. 
  
 The landing hardware for this mission is being built by the Russians, but its key sensor technologies, such as the descent radar, are being developed in Europe and will be tested on a demonstration landing in late 2016. 
  
 Esa director general Jean-Jacques Dordain told BBC News: "We have already taken a lot of lessons from the 'failure' of Beagle, and especially on the need to be connected, because if we had been connected in terms of communications we would have known we were on Planet Mars." 
  
 And reflecting on Colin Pillinger's role in the project he added: "It's a pity that he is not with us anymore, because this was his baby. And I'm really glad - really glad - [it's been found] for him." 
  
 The official Beagle2 inquiry made recommendations that will shape Esa's next Mars landing efforts

 In the public's mind, Colin Pillinger became synonymous with the Mars mission

 The discovery of Beagle2 on the surface of Mars confirms the mission as one of most glorious near-misses in the history of British exploration. 
  
 Bold, imaginative, and brilliantly-engineered, the spacecraft came very close to upstaging Nasa but ultimately failed. 
  
 Criticised by some for relying too much on the British tradition of "winging it with string and sticky tape", as one European space official put it, Beagle2 nevertheless caught the public imagination. 
  
 The mastermind behind the venture, the late Colin Pillinger, could have had a very successful career in marketing. Shyness was never an option. 
  
 His choice of the mission's name - after the vessel that had sailed Charles Darwin around the world - deliberately aligned it with one of the greatest journeys in the story of modern science. 
  
 Just as Darwin's venture had ultimately led to a revolution in scientific theory about life on Earth, Pillinger's was designed to answer the big question about life beyond it. 
  
 Distinctive whiskers in full bloom, mind fizzing with ideas, he and his wife Judith shuttled their very British Land Rover between the centres of power of the European Space Agency, hustling for support. 
  
 They enlisted help from some of the most fashionable names in British art and music: commissioning the artist Damien Hirst to paint the image that would calibrate the camera and the rock group Blur to compose the first transmission signal.

 And once, while filming a story at Pillinger's lab at the Open University in Milton Keynes, I asked him to demonstrate Beagle2's scale. His answer was unbeatable, tapping into some uniquely British humour: he placed a replica of the barbecue-sized spacecraft in a supermarket trolley and wheeled it through the car park. A shot both hilarious and iconic was born. 
  
 Then, at the key moment, on Christmas morning in 2003, stars and celebrities joined our media throng for an agonising wait. This was not exactly mission control in Houston but a modest meeting room at the Open University's centre in north London. 
  
 Live on television, his shirt festooned with clip-on microphones, Pillinger was resolute as the clock approached the moment when the first message should have confirmed a safe landing. And he remained resolute when that moment passed. 
  
 Early days, he kept saying, no problem, a bold display of a stiff upper lip. But I caught sight of Judith's face which told a more forlorn story. 
  
 Nothing was ever heard from the tiny craft and there was no trace of it until now. The assumption was that it was lying in shattered pieces in the Martian dust. 
  
 And so the name Beagle entered the lexicon as a heart-warming example of plucky failure. 
  
 When a British mission to search for life beneath the ice of Antarctica was being planned, the chief scientist Martin Siegert told me he hoped it would not turn out to be "another Beagle". 
  
 The pristine waters of the ancient Lake Ellsworth, cut off for thousands of years, were the target of the drilling project. The quest was to see if life could survive in the icy darkness.

 The Russians had already extracted water from another lake under the ice but the samples may have been contaminated. And an American project was drilling into a less isolated spot. The scientific prize - as with Beagle - was there to be seized by British hands. 
  
 But the team's hot-water drill could not be aimed as accurately as needed. Supplies of fuel to melt the ice were running low. And over Christmas 2012 - exactly nine years after Beagle - another British team faced crushing disappointment. 
  
 Of course, the ultimate example of near-triumph came from Captain Scott and his team in the Antarctic wilderness a century before that. 
  
 They made it to the South Pole only to find that the Norwegians had got there first. They then hauled back priceless geological samples but never made it, their bodies later found frozen in their tent. 
  
 Even so, Scott became established as a legend and inspired future generations of explorers. A key thread in the narrative of British exploration is a determination not to give up, a legacy of salvaging something positive from defeat. 
  
 So, the Lake Ellsworth scientists are hoping to win funding to try again. And British space scientists will have another go at Mars with a European mission in 2018. 
  
 Colin Pillinger himself never had the chance for a second attempt. But he always avoided using the word failure. 
  
 And, if he were alive today, he would surely argue that news of Beagle2 touching down intact proves him right, that Britain did manage to land on Mars, and by any standards that counts as success. |||||
A:
The British-built Beagle 2 began its fall to Mars on Dec. 19, 2003. It was expected to land on the Red Planet on Christmas Day and begin its search for alien life (its name is a nod to Charles Darwin's HMS Beagle). But it was never heard from again. Now, high-resolution images snapped over the last two years by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show the probe essentially just where it ought to be, within three miles of its target landing location, the BBC reports. It also appears intact. So what happened? The theory based on the images is that one or two of the probe's four "petals" holding its solar panels didn't deploy, perhaps due to a bad bounce or an airbag "not separating sufficiently from the lander," mission manager Prof. Mark Sims says. "Without full deployment, there is no way we could have communicated with it as the radio frequency antenna was under the solar panels." The BBC now calls it "one of [the] most glorious near-misses in the history of British exploration," and UK Space Agency scientists say the mission needs to be relabeled "a great success." As Sims puts it, the Beagle 2 achieved a trio of feats: landing on Mars, managing to enter its atmosphere, and being the first "controlled landing" on another planet. The BBC reports the probe can't be brought back to life, but "this is not the end of the story," says Sims. "We will do more imaging and analysis." The discovery is bittersweet as it follows the death of principal investigator Colin Pillinger last year. He "would be putting in his grant application to go and fix it," a researcher says, per the Telegraph. His daughter adds, "He would love that this could inspire that next generation to do Beagle 3."
