The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has identified a large dark patch in the robot\'s targeted landing zone consistent with a high-velocity impact. Schiaparelli is widely thought to have crashed and been destroyed. Data transmitted from the probe before it lost contact indicated that its descent systems did not work properly. Its parachute was jettisoned too early and its retrorockets, designed to slow the robot to a hover just above the surface, fired only for a few seconds. They should have operated for half a minute. The MRO imagery is not quite definitive because the resolution is low - just six metres per pixel. Its context is persuasive, however. The feature is not present in previous MRO pictures of the location.
