Mars landing: what happened to the Schiaparelli probe?
The European Space Agency (ESA) is to give more details on Thursday morning (10.00 CET) as to what may have happened to the Schiaparelli probe which was supposed to have landed on Mars. Contact was lost during its descent on Wednesday afternoon (European time), before it reached the surface. Scientists are working to confirm its status via data received from other satellites, amid fears the probe may have crashed or been destroyed.
