NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter – High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) imaged the ExoMars Schiaparelli module’s landing site on 25 October 2016, following the module’s arrival at Mars on 19 October. The zoomed insets provide close-up views of what are thought to be several different hardware components associated with the module’s descent to the martian surface. These are interpreted as the front heatshield, the parachute and the rear heatshield. Full details and hi-res version via http://www.esa.int/edm_hardware (pic: NASA/JPL/Caltech/Univ. Arizona)
