OhmegaPly in ESA Beagle 2 Mars lander

Posted:

The Beagle 2 Mars lander was found intact on the surface of Mars after disappearing 11 years ago during its descent.  The discovery shows that the probe landed successfully but failed to unfold itself properly on the Martian surface.

The lander was designed to search for signs of life on Mars and characterize Martian geology, weather and climate, among other tasks.

OhmegaPly was used in several of the lander’s printed circuit boards including as heaters in the X-Ray Spectrometer.

OhmegaPly has been used in many leading edge, mission critical and harsh environments for five decades.
