Beagle 2: Lost and Found on Mars

I created this short animation in Blender to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Beagle 2, the UK’s lost Mars lander, touching down on the red planet.

I used Blender to model the lander itself based on the few publicly available reference documents, then textured it in Substance Painter. I then rendered it in Blender in a martian landscape, trying to depict it as it may appear now, 20 years later, with one solar array failed to deploy and two decades of martian dust accumulated on it.
