The powerful new Mars Reconnaissance Orbit has been called into duty to help with the search, and the spacecraft has produced high-resolution images of the region where Beagle 2 was thought to have disappeared.
This image shows the H20 crater, which is located within the 10×50 km ellipse where Beagle 2 should be. Lead scientist for Beagle 2, Colin Pillinger, has reviewed the image and hasn’t found any wreckage yet. But he’s not giving up hope, as MRO will be supplying additional images of the region in the future.
