The ending of that story could tell us something about Schiaparelli's future." Schiaparelli, the European Perspective http://exploration.esa.int/mars/47852-entry-descent-and-landing-demonstrator-module/ "One of the core scientific goals of any mission to Mars is the search for evidence of life. The best approach is to investigate the surface where the evidence may lie. The key element for accessing the surface of Mars and one of the greatest challenges in space exploration is the successful execution of the entry, descent and landing sequence." Schiaparelli Impact Site on Mars, in Color https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/jpl/pia21132/schiaparelli-impact-site-on-mars-in-color "The ExoMars project received data from Schiaparelli during its descent through the atmosphere. ESA reports that the heat shield separated as planned, the parachute deployed as planned but was released (with back shell) prematurely, and the lander hit the ground at a velocity of more than 180 miles per hour (more than 300 kilometers per hour)." ____________________ DNews is dedicated to satisfying your curiosity and to bringing you mind-bending stories & perspectives you won't find anywhere else!
