Beagle 2 è un lander britannico per l'esplorazione di Marte, parte di una missione del 2003 dell'Agenzia Spaziale Europea, che avrebbe dovuto atterrare sul pianeta e trasmettere informazioni sulla Terra. Se n'era persa ogni traccia fino al 16 gennaio 2015, data in cui l'Agenzia Spaziale Europea ha comunicato il ritrovamento del lander inattivo.
