This image ( PSP_0 02347_1915) was targeted to a dark spot seen in a MOC image that was suggested to be the Beagle 2 landing site (see Beagl e 2 Landing Site Located for more information). The dark spot corresponds to an impact crater, shown here in color. The European Beagle 2 lander was carried by the Mars Express orbiting spacecraft and released into the Martian atmosphere in December 2003, but Observation Geometry Acquisition date: 1 January 2007 Local Mars time: 3:40 PM Degrees latitude (centered): 11.7 ° Degrees longitude (East): 90.7 ° Range to target site: 278.3 km (173.9 miles) Original image scale range: 27.8 cm/pixel (with 1 x 1 binning) so objects ~84 cm across are resolved Map-projected scale: 25 cm/pixel and north is up Map-projection: EQUIRECTANGULAR Emission angle: 3.3 ° Phase angle: 51.9 ° Solar incidence angle: 55 °, with the Sun about 35 ° above the horizon Solar longitude: 173.1 °, Northern Summer NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, is the prime contractor for the project and built the spacecraft. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment is operated by the University of Arizona, Tucson, and the instrument was built by Ball Aerospace and Technology Corp., Boulder, Colo.
