Does anyone have any models and/or trajectory information for the Mars Express/Beagle 2?

TIA

Well, I contacted the Horizons webmaster the other day to ask about this, and I'm waiting for a reply...

I emailed them a while back to ask about a muses-c xyz and it doesn't seem like they'll add that either..

Horizons only includes trajectories that have been provided by the project responsible for a particular space probe.

You need to contact the Mars Express project and bug them about it.

Sent an email to the ESA and I've heard nothing yet...

I'll post any information they may supply.

I was passing through here and noticed this

These may help you

From 13 june 16:00 (UTC) for Mars Express
Elements With Respect to the sun:

Pericenter Distance (km) = 151707952.574914
Semi Major Axis (km) = 188863491.516065
Eccentricity = 0.196732
Inclination (Deg) = 23.483480
ASC. Node (Deg) = 0.400907
ARG. of Pericenter (Deg) = 253.228143
True Anomaly (Deg) = 9.713727

and go to http://sci.esa.int/marsexpress/ and click on satelites in orbit and space science mission and you will find a 3d model of sorts there

hope this helps

Even better than ssc elements...

I contacted the Horizons webmaster the other day to ask about this, and I'm waiting for a reply...

Well today he replied, and they have added it to their Spacecraft list! I've made an xyz for it you can get it off the Spacecraft page on my site http://homepage.eircom.net/~jackcelestia/

I originally announced this on post http://63.224.48.65/forum/viewtopic.php?p=17412#17412 (just in case anyone wants to know)
