Involvement as a 3D Visualiser in a practical research project, focused on determining the fate of the British spacecraft Beagle 2, launched to Mars in 2003, and presumed lost since. The project resulted in gathering evidence that the probe had successfully landed on the surface of Mars and returned indication of Beagle 2’s configuration. The research was carried out in collaboration with Dr. Mark Sims, Beagle 2 Mission Operation Manager, and Dr Jim Clemmet – Beagle 2 Chief Engineer. Authored a research paper, based on the Beagle 2 visualisation - ”3D Technology as an Effective Tool for Reflection Simulation: The Beagle 2 Lander on Mars”. The paper has been presented at the EVA London 2018 Conference and can be accessed on https://ewic.bcs.org/content/ConWebDoc/59661.
