Dubbed Beagle 2, after Charles Darwin's famous specimen-collecting ship, the lander is only 91 cm wide when packed for flight, but on the ground it will open like a flower and deploy an impressive array of equipment. Among the instruments are a drill capable of digging 1.5 m below the surface, 12 ovens that can heat samples to some 870?C to generate carbon dioxide and a mass spectrometer to identify carbon isotopes, along with other elements. The lander can also measure ultraviolet...

As it regroups on the ground, the U.S. plans to ratchet up the pressure from the air. Apache helicopters from the Army's 101st Airborne Division have begun attacking the Republican Guard's Medina division southwest of Baghdad.
