Summary

Odyssey, the NASA orbiter, was due to pass over Beagle 2 at 5.30am GMT to try and make contact with Beagle 2.

Full story

Five minutes before Odyssey flies over the site where Beagle was scheduled to land, Beagle 2 starts to send out a message. Beagle 2 continues to call out for about 20 minutes. If we have been successful then Odyssey will be able to relay information from Beagle 2 back to Earth - but it will take some time to process any message - so we continue to wait hopefully
