Strange Beings Carved In Martian Stone Imaged By NASA's Curiosity Rover - SHORT VERSION - Video
ESA, this is Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter: Beagle has landed.
NASA's main eye in the sky orbiting Mars has spotted Beagle 2, a lander that was part of the European Space Agency's Mars Express mission but failed to phone home after it was released for landing on Mars on Dec. 25, 2003.
ESA announced the discovery Friday, following painstaking analysis of photos from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter by researchers at the agency's Space Operations Center in Darmstadt, Germany, as well as by teams at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
Although the arrival message is 11 years late, it comes as something of a relief for ESA.
The loss prompted an investigation that identified several possible scenarios for what went wrong. Virtually all of the scenarios involved some type of malfunction with the lander's entry, descent, and landing system.
The images suggest that for the most part, the parachute-and-airbag system worked as planned, depositing the lander at its intended landing site within an impact basin known as Isidis Planitia, near the Martian equator. The ensuing silence stemmed from a hardware problem on the lander.
Images from the US orbiter's HiRISE camera show that Beagle landed where it was supposed to land and that no more than three of its solar panels deployed. The panel or panels that failed to fully deploy blocked Beagle 2's communications antenna, rendering the craft mute.
Given the uncertainty over what happened, ESA officials are elated to finally reach some sort of closure on the lander.
Not knowing what happened to Beagle-2 remained a nagging worry," said Rudolf Schmidt, ESAs Mars Express project manager at the time, in a statement. "Understanding now that Beagle-2 made it all the way down to the surface is excellent news.
The news also was welcome in Britain, where the lander was built.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- The official numbers are in, and they confirm what most already suspected: 2014 was the hottest year on record. Temperature records were shattered in places across the globe, including in much of Europe, parts of South America, as well as in China and portions of Russia and the Far East.
As NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Friday, average global temperatures on land and sea surfaces collected across the planet were 1.24 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th century average.
"When averaged over the globe, 2014 was the warmest year on record," Michael Freilich, director of the Earth Science Division in NASA's Science Mission Directorate, told reporters during a teleconference on Friday.
Only the United States featured a considerable chunk of real estate with land surface temperatures below average, with much of the South and Midwest having endured an especially cold year. Still, much of the West Coast and Alaska featured record highs.
And the United States was an anomaly, globally speaking.
Surface temperatures collected by NASA and NOAA via a wide array of instruments -- temperature gauges on buoys and ships, weather station thermometers and satellite readings -- showed, in separate complimentary analyses, that 2014 was the hottest on record.
"Multiple datasets from across the globe continue to validate each other and highlight these long term trends," NOAA's chief scientist Richard W. Spinrad said of the new records and the reality of manmade climate change.
Though average land temperatures weren't the hottest since accurate record keeping began in 1880, despite every continent seeing some record temperature events, ocean surface temperatures were the warmest on record.
"Every ocean had parts with record temperatures," explained Thomas R. Karl, director of NOAA's National Climatic Data Center. "When you put it all together it comes out to the warmest year on record."
The new data sets show that the globe has been warming an average of 1.2 degrees Fahrenheit per decade since 1880.

It was a big couple days for climate change.
A day after Pope Francis said global warming is "mostly" man-made and that "man has slapped nature in the face," NASA reported that 2014 was the hottest year on record.
Actually, separate analyses by NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists reached the conclusion that 2014 ranks as the warmest year since 1880.
Suddenly, global warming was a hot topic for global discussion.

CBS News: 2014 proves hottest on record, driven in part by climate change
Washington Post: Scientists react to warmest year: 2014 underscores undeniable fact of human-caused climate change
Announced Friday, the findings by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York were based on a global analysis using readings from weather stations around the world. The scientists found that the average global temperate has increased by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since the first available temperature records in 1880.
"That might not seem very much, but in terms of climate change, it's actually a big deal," said Dr. Gavin Schmidt, the director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
Noting that the Midwest had a cold winter while the West saw record high temperatures, the narrator in the above NASA video said: "Scientists expect global and regional fluctuations in temperature from year to year due to changing weather patterns." Then she explained the main reason for the rising temperatures: The increase of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

The United Kingdom's Beagle 2 Mars lander, which mysteriously disappeared during a landing attempt over Christmas in 2003, has finally been found by a NASA spacecraft orbiting the Red Planet.
TheBeagle 2 Mars landeris clearly visible in new photos from NASA's sharp-eyedMars Reconnaissance Orbiter(MRO) in orbit around the Red Planet. The discovery shows that the probe landed successfully, but failed to unfold itself properly on the Martian surface, UK Space Agency officials announced today (Jan. 16).
The spacecraft, which hitched a ride to Mars on the European Space Agency's Mars Express mission, had not been heard from since it detached from that spacecraft on Dec. 19, 2003. Beagle 2 was supposed to land on Mars six days later, on Dec. 25. But when the lander never phoned home, many experts assumed Beagle 2 had crashed on Mars. Now, the mission's science team knows that's not the case. [The Search for Beagle 2 in Photos]
"The history of space exploration is marked by both success and failure," UK Space Agency Chief David Parkersaid in a statement. "This finding makes the case that Beagle 2 was more of a success than we previously knew and undoubtedly an important step in Europe's continuing exploration of Mars."
The search for Beagle 2 Thesearch for the Beagle 2 Mars landerin NASA's MRO images was initially performed by former ESA Mars Express operations team member Michael Croon, who worked with the Beagle 2 lander's science and industrial team to painstakingly review NASA images in the hope of finding the missing lander. Because of the small size of the clamshell-like Beagle 2 (the lander measured 7 feet across, or 2 meters, when unfolded), it was right at the limit of MRO's imaging capabilities, NASA officials said.
Images from MRO's HiRISE (High Resolution Science Experiment) camerashow that Beagle 2 indeed survived the harrowing entry, descent and landing sequence to touch down inside its target landing area in the Isidis Planitia region of Mars. It was about 3 miles (5 kilometers) from the center of its target landing zone, according to an ESA description. [The Best (and Worst) Mars Landings Ever]
"To be frank, I had all but given up hope of ever knowing what happened to Beagle 2," said former Beagle 2 mission manager Mark Sims, of the University of Leicester, in the UK Space Agency statement. "The images show that we came so close to achieving the goal of science on Mars. The images vindicate the hard work put in by many people and companies both here in the UK and around Europe and the world in building Beagle 2."
Beagle 2 appeared to have only a few of its four solar arrays deployed, perhaps three at most. The lander's main parachute was seen close by, and the lander's rear cover and drogue parachute appeared to be still attached to the lander's main body.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) 229 on Nanotechnologies is one of ISOs most active committees, publishing more than 40 documents since its formation in 2005. Recently the committee has ramped up its activity even more, with 35 projects currently in progress in the Working Groups (WGs) directly under TC 229 leadership or in collaboration with other groups. These new documents, which are in various stages of development, will have a tremendous impact on the global advancement of nanotechnology standardization in such critical areas as nanotechnology vocabulary, appropriate measurement techniques for characterization of nano-objects and nanomaterials, and health and safety practices for those individuals working with nano-objects or nanomaterials.
Within ISO TC 229, four WGs, operating independently or jointly depending upon potential overlap of subject areas, focus on the development of international standards for nanotechnologies according to the following scopes:
Nanotechnology, which refers to the manipulation and control of matter in the nanoscale (approximately 1 to 100 nm), is revolutionizing virtually all industry sectors, from information technology to medicine to clean energy production.
WG 1: Terminology and nomenclature
WG 2: Measurement and characterization
WG 3: Health, safety, and environment
WG 4: Materials specifications
The full list of documents currently in development within the ISO TC 229 WGs is available here.
Always a major player in nano standardization work, the U.S. has leadership of ISO TC 229 WG 3, with Dr. Vladimir Murashov of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) serving as Convener. To ensure the U.S. is strongly represented throughout TC 229s areas of activity, the U.S. Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to ISO TC 229, accredited and administered by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), formulates and delivers U.S. positions and proposals to ISO in all areas of nanotechnology. Mirroring ISO TC 229s four-WG structure, the U.S. TAG is made up of U.S. private- and public-sector experts in nanotechnology who serve as delegates for ISO TC 229 meetings, with Steve Brown of Intel Global Environmental Health and Safety serving as overall TAG Chair.
ANSI is proud of the consistent engagement and leadership the U.S. has shown in ISO TC 229 since its formation a decade ago, said Fran Schrotter, senior vice president and chief operating officer at ANSI. The collaborative work of our U.S. TAG members and leaders has ensured that the U.S. plays an important role in influencing the progress and direction of critical nanotechnology standardization activities that foster innovation in nearly every industry.
