Beagle 2 was an unsuccessful British landing spacecraft that formed part of the European Space Agency 's 2003 Mars Express mission. No contact was received at the expected time of landing on Mars. Beagle 2 was named after HMS  Beagle , which twice carried Charles Darwin during expeditions which would later lead to the theory of natural selection .

Beagle 2 was an unsuccessful British landing spacecraft that formed part of the European Space Agency 's 2003 Mars Express mission. All contact with it was lost upon its separation from the Mars Express six days before its scheduled entry into the atmosphere. A subsequent investigation concluded that Beagle 2 had reached the surface of Mars, but likely suffered a hard landing due to failure of one or more of its systems. The Beagle 2 was named after HMS  Beagle , which twice carried Charles Darwin during expeditions which would later lead to the theory of evolution .

Beagle 2 was an unsuccessful British landing spacecraft that formed part of the European Space Agency 's 2003 Mars Express mission. It is not known for certain whether the lander reached the Martian surface; all contact with it was lost upon its separation from the Mars Express six days before its scheduled entry into the atmosphere. It may have missed Mars altogether, skipped off the atmosphere and entered an orbit around the Sun , or burned up during its descent. If it reached the surface, it may have hit too hard or else failed to make ground contact due to a fault. The Beagle 2 is named after the HMS Beagle which twice carried Charles Darwin during expeditions which would later lead to the theory of evolution .

If it reached the surface, it may have hit too hard or just simply failed to contact Earth due to a minor fault.
