Beagle 2 is only small - same diameter as a bicycle wheel in fact - but it's packed with science instruments. With two out of every three probes sent to Mars so far failing, my fingers are crossed so tightly they're going white... If anyone's really bored they can read a piece I've written about Beagle on www.newmars.com. Go Beagle...! :-) (and good luck to the twin MERs, following close behind, too!)
