The debris is probably scattered along many miles of the Mars surface after it burnt up in the atmosphere. Either way it made it to the planet so it counts as a landing.

I believe the heat shields were so strong burn up was unlikely. Many reasons were offered up but the generally accepted scenario was that the parachutes or airbags didn't deploy properly.

It almost certainly crashed into the planet though, so we can all agree a successful and glorious landing was achieved. God Bless the Queen.

Impossible to say for sure. It's more likely it made the surface intact but was totally destroyed on impact. Just think, there's a small crater on the Mars surface that the British put there.

Great Britain, making her mark on Earth and in outer space.

Sorry you didn't win the lottery of life Amerilaps. But I guess being stuck with America isn't so bad, eh?

Yup. The Mars Express Orbiter is also being used by NASA in their Curiosity mission. It will be helping them monitor the rover and relaying communication signals.

Don't expect and recognition or thanks from the Americans on here though for our help and allowing them the use of our equipment lel

>It is not the first time that Qinetiq’s transceiver has been used to support a Nasa mission to Mars. In 2008 the transceiver was used to monitor the entry, descent and landing of the Phoenix Lander, and has acted as one of the relays for Nasa’s Opportunity Rover, which is still active on the surface of the planet.

Britain selflessly helping America as usual, and what thanks do we get?

Mars Express is ESA... The Beagle lander was Brit... and is now a smoking crater.

Nice try, britbro.

You're right, it is ESA, and a lot of the components are British designed, including the Mars Express Lander Communications systems NASA is using to moniter the rover and to send data and images back to Earth.

You're welcome btw ;)

Quoted By:

The eventual manned missions to Mars and Venus will be jointly conducted by all of the major space agencies. In fact, a large number of high cost projects being proposed are joint ventures.

Exomars is ESA and Russia and even the JWST is a joint mission.

So I've just found out we landed on Mars 10 years ago, and now we're helping the Ameribros in their historic mission thanks to our communication systems orbiting the Red Planet. What a great day to be British.

Smashing something into something else really hard has been a British tradition for years, it all started with the method of fixing anything with a few wacks with the hammer. The Irish had adopted this method to fix their wives with their fists.

Anyways, good show men

The Mars Express communication systems seem to be working pretty well, bro. Just ask your NASA scientists.
