With the (possibly incorrect) thread title as it currently stands, this is a relevant and interesting read.

The interesting part was waiting 12 years for another orbiter to image the landing area to figure out what went wrong with Beagle 2.

If ExoMars/Schiaparelli never sends a signal indicating what happened, would NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter HiRISE camera been able to photograph Schiaparelli (the lander) and figure out what went wrong?

The Beagle 2 is 2 meters across and Schiaparelli has a 2.4 m diameter.

Interesting. The Beagle 2 is 12 pixels on the original fotos. Using mad CSI skills (aka Super-Resolution Restoration) they enhanced it to 100 pixels.

How many passes did it take for HiRISE to build up that picture of Beagle 2?
