2015年1月16日,英国航天局发布声明称,通过美国“火星勘测轨道器”(MRO)拍摄的高分辨率图像,在火星表面发现了10余年前失踪的英国猎兔犬-2(Beagle-2)火星着陆器。最新图像显示,猎兔犬-2降落在预定着陆区,它的引导伞仍连着着陆器,主降落伞散落在附近,太阳电池板没有完全展开。这表明,欧洲首个火星着陆器猎兔犬-2已成功降落火星。同日,欧洲航天局局长多尔丹说,这一发现意味着“11年前被视为失败的计划事实证明并非完全失败……至少在火星着陆”。
On January 16, 2015, the British Space Agency said in a statement that the high-resolution images taken by the United States “” Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter “(MRO) were found on Mars surface missing more than 10 years ago, the British Beagle -2 (Beagle-2) Mars lander. The latest image shows that Beagle -2 landed in the scheduled landing zone, its guiding umbrella is still attached to the lander, the main parachute scattered in the vicinity, the solar panel is not fully deployed. This shows that Europe’s first Mars lander, Beagle-2, has successfully landed on Mars. On the same day, the director of the European Space Agency, Dodd Dan, said the finding means that ”a plan deemed as failure 11 years ago proved not completely failed ... at least on Mars."
