A series of plaques has been unveiled across the UK to celebrate Beagle 2, the country's first spacecraft to reach another planet. Led by maverick scientist Professor Colin Pillinger, the low-cost mission used unorthodox public engagement—including enlisting the Britpop band Blur for a call-sign and artist Damien Hirst for a calibration target—to secure public and financial backing. Although initially deemed a failure after failing to transmit a signal upon reaching Mars in December 2003, NASA images discovered years later that the lander had safely touched down, but its solar panels failed to fully open, trapping its antenna.
