Proposed Mars Lander Vehicle

EDM number 1577 in 1997-98, proposed by Ian Taylor on 20/07/1998.

That this House applauds the efforts of the consortium of university research laboratories, including the Open University, University of Leicester and University College London, which with leading British companies in the space industry, designed the Beagle 2 Lander vehicle and propose to build it for the Mars Express mission in 2003; recognises the alpha quality of the science and technology involved in the project and the public awareness and educational possibilities; and urges other interested parties and the Government to support this British-led opportunity to analyse Martian rock soil and atmosphere in situ to discover whether there have been or could be life forms on the planet.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
