AbstractDue for launch in 2003 as part of the Mars Express mission, the primary goal of the Beagle 2 lander is the detection of extinct or extant life on Mars. Atmospheric studies, analysis of subsurface material and regime, and the first attempt at in-situ radiometric dating of rocks on another planet make Beagle 2 unique among planetary missions. The lander is named after Darwin’s ship, H.M.S Beagle.

Beagle 2 is a British-led mission to place a scientific Lander on Mars to search for evidence of past or present life and to conduct geochemical and environmental investigations. It was launched aboard the European Space Agency's Mars Express on 2 June 2003. During 2002 tests were undertaken at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK, to verify the Lander thermal design under simulated Martian environmental conditions. A pre-requisite was the design and commissioning of the test facility required to achieve the stringent test requirements. This paper describes the development of the test facility and the supporting thermal design and analysis.
