ExoMars Mission did not go according to plan. In orbit of the red Planet, managed to put Trace Gas Orbiter, but during the landing, lost contact with the module Schiaparelli.
lander Schiaparelli, which was to be used to check the system descent and landing before sending it to Mars, the ExoMars Rover in 2020, began the maneuver of landing on the red Planet on Monday. Contact was broken after only nineteen seconds of falling. After the scheduled time of landing on Mars European Space Agency reported that the telemetry data received from the probe TGO, it follows that the parachute was released too early. Also the braking rockets, which were to be started immediately before the touch on the surface of the red Planet, ruled out after 3-4 seconds, instead of the planned thirty.
ESA said that they will focus on accurate analysis of data obtained from the probe, and will try to connect to lądownikiem. The European Space Agency can not conclude that the machine actually crashed while landing. However, as marks bi-BI-si, the chance that Schiaparelli intact landed on Mars, however, is not high. Americans have to borrow one of their probes, in order to find the lander on the surface of the red Planet. Hope it is, however, small because the list is relatively small. The reactor that powers the device runs out of power after a few days, ESA is struggling so with time.
the Loss Schiaparellego will be for European Space Agency big hit. In 2013. ended in failure for the British lądowanika landing of Beagle-2 on Mars. Mission Schiaparellego was purely for evaluation – ESA verifies its capabilities before proceeding, and śmielszą the exploration of the red Planet, which for many years is the main dream of all space agencies.
