Mystery Remains Over Fate of European Mars lander Schiaparelli

www.dailymail.co.uk

The fate of a European probe supposed to have touched down on Mars on Wednesday remains a mystery, Euronews reports.

At a news conference on Thursday morning, experts from the European Space Agency (ESA) admitted they can’t even be sure the Schiaparelli lander is still in one piece!

A problem arose as a parachute was released to slow its descent to the Red Planet.

Scientists said data had been received showing the parachute and the lander’s heat shield
deployed successfully, but that it was unclear what happened in the final seconds before landing and no data had yet been received from the surface.
