It is still unclear whether the lander a ‘soft landing’ has been made. Just before the device the martian surface that is touched, stopped with the emitting of signals.
The ESA know that Schiaparelli successfully the atmosphere of Mars is invaded. The heat shield did its job, and the two parachutes that the six hundred pounds heavy robot had to slow down, went open.
It seems wrong to have gone after the parachutes the Marslander became detached and the remraketten took over. The missiles were initially activated, but more likely turned off than was intended. The ESA examines to what extent the Schiaparelli was on when this happened.
The ESA has a longer time need to use all the data to analyze to find out in what state Schiaparelli located on the red planet.
Success
Nonetheless, says the space agency a huge success. Schiaparelli’s main role is to be a European landingstechnologie to test with a view to a mission in 2020. The collection of data during the descent is an important part. It is the Marslander according to the ESA passed.
The ESA wants to be in 2020, together with Russia, an explorer to Mars, who goes in search of traces of life. This Marslander will be about solar panels, and include drilling into the surface.
The space agency confirmed on Wednesday that it was mothership, the Trace Gas Orbiter, successfully in orbit around Mars. This is also why the ESA is excited about the mission.
The Schiaparelli had Wednesday afternoon at 16.48 pm on the martian surface land, but the flight guidance in the German Darmstadt did not receive a confirmation of the landing. The absence of the signal indicated that the landing was unsuccessful.
