...conduct atmospheric studies and a lander that will descend to the surface. Dubbed Beagle 2, after Charles Darwin's famous specimen-collecting ship, the lander is only 3 ft. wide when packed for flight, but on the ground it will open like a flower and deploy an impressive array of equipment. Among the instruments are a drill capable of digging 5 ft. below the surface, 12 ovens that can heat samples to some 1,600şF to generate carbon dioxide and a mass spectrometer to identify carbon isotopes, along with other elements. The lander can also measure ultraviolet radiation, temperature...

"The rovers are like field geologists going out to a new place," says Steve Squyres of Cornell University, NASA's principal investigator for the missions.
