Why is the probability of finding Beagle2 from Earth very low?


1. The signal is weak (only about 5 watts).

2. It is currently only transmitting for very short periods
during the day, reducing the opportunity for seeing it.

3. It is now out of sight to Jodrel Bank (possibly the most
suitable telescope for finding it).
