Re: Nozomi and Probes
As I understand it Nozomi can no longer transmit, so effectively is dead.
Pathfinder is an unfair comparison just as the MER are. Beagle II is a subset of a satellite...Mars Express. If MO or MGS had a lander on them something like Galileo spacecraft with it's Jupiter probe or Cassini with it's Huygens
probe. Then a fair comparison could be made. Maybe you would be better off asking how much those probes cost...
