Is the space probe "Beagle 2" still on Mars?

I can't imagine it has any choice in the matter, it's staying exactly where it crash landed.

The first Mars Rover made the trip in eight months.\nIt's about fifty million miles away.\nI don't know how cold it is.

sorry no answer.  but i was wondering?  How is Mars this time of year?

Next one is in August 2017. Only in a narrow tens of miles band. I don't know when the last one was. Check Fred Espenak at NASA on the internet. They should have everything.

The polar ice caps on Mars aren't water ice.  They are carbon dioxide ice (also known as dry ice).\n\nThe site selection for where they land the probes are based on a number of parameters, including the amount of open area and interesting geological formations in the region that they'd like to take a closer look at.\n\nIn the Rover's case, one of the parameters was spectrographic and IR telemetry readings that suggested the presence of some compounds that normally form in water, and physical features that appeared to be created by water erosion, so that was determined to be an ideal place to look for the presence of water on or below the surface.

Just robots sent by NASA. No human has gone to Mars, yet.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the seventh largest: \n\n      orbit: 227,940,000 km (1.52 AU) from Sun\n      diameter: 6,794 km\n      mass: 6.4219e23 kg\n\n\n Mars (Greek: Ares) is the god of War. The planet probably got this name due to its red color; Mars is sometimes referred to as the Red Planet. (An interesting side note: the Roman god Mars was a god of agriculture before becoming associated with the Greek Ares; those in favor of colonizing and terraforming Mars may prefer this symbolism.) The name of the month March derives from Mars. \n\nMars has been known since prehistoric times. Of course, it has been extensively studied with ground-based observatories. But even very large telescopes find Mars a difficult target, it's just too small. It is still a favorite of science fiction writers as the most favorable place in the Solar System (other than Earth!) for human habitation. But the famous "canals" "seen" by Lowell and others were, unfortunately, just as imaginary as Barsoomian princesses. \n\n\nViking 2 Landing Site  Pathfinder Landing Site The first spacecraft to visit Mars was Mariner 4 in 1965. Several others followed including Mars 2, the first spacecraft to land on Mars and the two Viking landers in 1976. Ending a long 20 year hiatus, Mars Pathfinder landed successfully on Mars on 1997 July 4. In 2004 the Mars Expedition Rovers "Spirit" and "Opportunity" landed on Mars sending back geologic data and many pictures; they are still operating after more than a year on Mars. Three Mars orbiters (Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Odyssey, and Mars Express) are also currently in operation. \n\nMars' orbit is significantly elliptical. One result of this is a temperature variation of about 30 C at the subsolar point between aphelion and perihelion. This has a major influence on Mars' climate. While the average temperature on Mars is about 218 K (-55 C, -67 F), Martian surface temperatures range widely from as little as 140 K (-133 C, -207 F) at the winter pole to almost 300 K (27 C, 80 F) on the day side during summer. \n\nThough Mars is much smaller than Earth, its surface area is about the same as the land surface area of Earth. \n\n Olympus Mons Mars has some of the most highly varied and interesting terrain of any of the terrestrial planets, some of it quite spectacular: \n\nOlympus Mons: the largest mountain in the Solar System rising 24 km (78,000 ft.) above the surrounding plain. Its base is more than 500 km in diameter and is rimmed by a cliff 6 km (20,000 ft) high. \nTharsis: a huge bulge on the Martian surface that is about 4000 km across and 10 km high. \nValles Marineris: a system of canyons 4000 km long and from 2 to 7 km deep (top of page); \nHellas Planitia: an impact crater in the southern hemisphere over 6 km deep and 2000 km in diameter. \nMuch of the Martian surface is very old and cratered, but there are also much younger rift valleys, ridges, hills and plains. (None of this is visible in any detail with a telescope, even the Hubble Space Telescope; all this information comes from the spacecraft that we've sent to Mars.) \n\n Southern Highlands The southern hemisphere of Mars is predominantly ancient cratered highlands somewhat similar to the Moon. In contrast, most of the northern hemisphere consists of plains which are much younger, lower in elevation and have a much more complex history. An abrupt elevation change of several kilometers seems to occur at the boundary. The reasons for this global dichotomy and abrupt boundary are unknown (some speculate that they are due to a very large impact shortly after Mars' accretion). Mars Global Surveyor has produced a nice 3D map of Mars that clearly shows these features. \n\nThe interior of Mars is known only by inference from data about the surface and the bulk statistics of the planet. The most likely scenario is a dense core about 1700 km in radius, a molten rocky mantle somewhat denser than

Sounds like you already know the answer to your own question...:)  Bottom line:  there is considerable evidence that there was once at least simple life on Mars.  There is some evidence that there may be simple life there now.  There isn't conclusive evidence of either of those things...so if we want to know, we need to keep exploring!

Generally no. The orbiting debris is actually very little and very small stuff. Most items have decaying orbits that eventually burn up in the atmosphere. The launch window is when the earth's launch sight is in the proper alignment with the sun, moon, or other planets so that it can establish orbit and then leave earth's orbit in an efficient trajectory. \n\nMainly if you want to send a mission to Mars, you actually lauch so that the probe lets Mars catch it, instead of trying to attain enough speed so it catches Mars. This is more efficient and requires less fuel. \n\nThink of a rocket like a semi that has one ton payload, but it has to carry all the fuel to drive from New York to San Francisco. That's pretty inefficent. If the semi could instead use much less fuel and say start at New York, but remain stationary and let the earth rotate underneath it, then it would use much less fuel to reach its destination.

There is no longer life on mars so to answer your question, No.

The Canadian Space agency web site should be your best bet.  Here is the link to the Canadarm 2 web page, with many linked pages that can be accessed.

As a matter of fact, I did. I recall seeing a blurb about this in Chariots of the Gods. It was stated but not often reported that non-terrestrial ships were noted by astronauts. In fact, there is a number of sightings by NASA personnel re: extra-terrestrial encounters or 'experiences.' Project Blue Book was originally set out by the USAF in 1951 to address these concerns. The initial goal was to collect the stories and then to set about disclaiming or disproving them in public. The project backfired and ended up collecting far too much data for easy dismissal. What it did do however was highlight what was known, what material was collected and by whom. American citizens were fooled into thinking that their government wanted to know...when in fact it really wanted to cover the materail up PRIOR to information going to the press. To this day, much of the most interesting evidence re" extraterrestrial evidence has been prevented from being released and/or "lost."

Apparently there is believed to be none now, but there may have been in the past.  Here is a quote from the link below:\n\nObservations of the magnetic fields on Mars by the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft have revealed that parts of the planet's crust has been magnetized. This magnetization has been compared to alternating bands found on the ocean floors of Earth. One interesting theory, published in 1999 and reexamined in October 2005 in a publication by the same group, is that these bands could be evidence of the past operation of plate tectonics on Mars. However, this has yet to be proven or widely accepted and remains an area of active research.
