Walter,

   They are trying to: locate Beagle 2, Pathfinder, image Spirit once away
from the glare of Columbia Memorial Station, and Polar Lander - althought
that is a very long shot to do so.

All the best

Hi Ron and List,

>Visible in the photos are the Spirit lander, the parachute >and backshell

Now, that is amazing!
Has MGS been able to locate Beagle2, or is it just too small to image?
