European unit has long had to broadcast towards the Earth, but probably lies currently on Mars… completely broken.
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (scientific American telecommunication space probe) took these pictures of the surface of Mars.
Black point-it is almost 100 percent. the broken machine.
What happened to Schiaparellim?
the Plan looked like this: after you disconnect a probe TGO lander was supposed to drop on Mars and open the parachute at an altitude of 11 km, in order to slow down a bit. Later, at the height of 1 km Schiaparelli was to get rid of the parachute and to fix the position of the engines to a height of 2 m above the surface.
All indicates that not worked the engine braking, and the machine crashed from a height of 1 km, and Crashed into smithereens.
This is not a defeat ExoMarsa
Schiaparelli was just testing the concept of landing and indeed, throughout the mission meant very little. Key is probe TGO, entered the orbit of Mars, who in the course of the year we will be supplying valuable information about the red planet.
in an interview with Wyborcza said Dr. Robert brown, a specialist in space:
in My opinion, 90%. funds for the current ExoMars mission was put on the planet, the satellite TGO. From a scientific point of view, it is for ESA key. Camera Schiaparelli was just a flower, just beautiful words, the sample – “demonstrator of technological capabilities”.
the Real test European technologies need to be planned for 2020 mission, which will focus on landing on Mars. Perhaps the defeat Schiaparellego will do, what will develop new technologies that will not allow a repetition of the situation in 4 years.
