No Mars signal from Beagle probe Beagle 2 descent, Esa Beagle 2's inter-planetary journey took six months Scientists have failed to pick up an expected signal from British-built spacecraft Beagle 2 telling them it has landed safely on Mars. The £35m ($62m) probe should have landed at 0254 GMT on Christmas Day after a six-month flight. Nasa's Mars Odyssey orbiter has since flown over its landing site but failed to detect the expected call sign. Lead scientist Professor Colin Pillinger insisted that "it's not the end of the world". The giant Jodrell Bank telescope, in Cheshire, UK, will come on line at about 2200 GMT to listen for signals. Scientists are confident that sweep will pick up a signal from Beagle 2 - if it has made it to the planet surface in one piece and is functioning as expected.

....nope no signal

Though to be fair it was done on the SERIOUS cheap and was actually very advanced (just the IP from the instruments is worth alot).
