Status report...

27 December 2003
Tonight, the Jodrell Bank telescope in the UK detected no signal from the Beagle 2 lander. Due to clear weather conditions and less noise, the opportunity for reception was better than on 26 December.

Earlier in the evening of 26 December, no signal had been detected by NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft flying in orbit overhead.

The next opportunity to listen with Mars Odyssey will take place at 07:15 CET on 27 December.
