The meteorite that revived hopes of finding life on Mars is to be analysed by scientists working on the British-led Beagle 2 mission. The meteorite is to be re-examined to help calibrate the "eyes" of Beagle 2 - the stereo camera system the Mars lander will use to view the strip of rock and soil where it bounces to a halt.
