Mars Express Fails to Contact Beagle 2

Yesterday’s pass over the Beagle 2 landing site by ESA’s Mars Express
orbiter which occurred at about 12:50 GMT(8th January) was unsuccessful
in achieving a result.

The next opportunities for Mars Express to detect a signal from Beagle
2 are as follows:

• 9 January, around 13:27 GMT
• 10 January, around 14:04 GMT
• 12 January, around 02:02 GMT

The results of future communication opportunities will be posted on the
Beagle 2 and PPARC Web sites.
