The Beagle2 project that Lindstrand Technologies worked on in 2003 has been found ‘intact’ on Mars.  Lindstrand Technologies manufactured the parachute that was used to decelerate the spacecraft on its journey to the surface of Mars.

We are proud to have worked on this project and are excited by the results.  Please see a couple of the links below for more details:
