This early investigation does suggest that the main engine, which had been built in Britain, was not the primary source of the failure.

Robert Westcott, a senior propulsion engineer at Nammo Westcott, said: 'It appears that a glitch, perhaps with a sensor, may have caused the on-board computer to erroneously shut down the main engine.

"By the time they had reset the system and the engine successfully restarted it was too late to slow the lander down for the soft landing.

"It looks like our engine performed nominally though."

The team said more tests would be carried out next week to gain a better understanding of the events. Nasa's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) may also be able to take an image of the crash site.

The American space agency's Mars rover Curiosity has recorded its largest measurement yet of methane.

The robot frequently "sniffs" the Red Planet for the gas but has never before seen so high a concentration - of 21 parts per billion (ppb).

The observations are fascinating because on Earth, methane is produced in large part by living things.

That's not necessarily the case on Mars; geological processes are very capable of making it as well.

Nonetheless, the latest data will heighten interest in the topic.

FO stands for "follow on" because the project is a successor to a mission that flew from 2002 to 2017.

The analysis appearing in the journal Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) on Wednesday is essentially a first attempt to match up the new observational tool with the old.

It's a task that was made more challenging than it should have been, concede scientists.

In part that was because there was a seven-month gap in operations (Grace-FO wasn't launched until 2018), but also because the new mission, once in orbit, was found to be carrying an underperforming accelerometer instrument.

The team has had to find a work-around for this disappointment.

This month the Red Planet entered its new year, what is known as Year 36, and it has not long been overtaken by Earth in its orbit of the Sun.

The distance between Earth and Mars constantly changes because of their different speeds around the Sun, therefore the optimum launch window for missions is just once every 26 months.

Many are anticipating the touchdown of Nasa's Perseverance rover - the most sophisticated vehicle ever sent to land on a planet - on 18 February.

However, the Red Planet is already being closely observed.

Before its sophisticated French-UK seismometer package began returning data, we had a "really fuzzy picture" of how Mars' different layers were organised.

Now, after using the vibrations from more than 1,300 Marsquakes to "image" the planet's deep geology, scientists can be much more certain about the thickness and composition of the planet's crust, mantle and core.

"What InSight has done is shone a light on the inside of Mars," said principal investigator Bruce Banerdt, also from JPL.

"Whereas we know a lot about the outside of Mars - we've taken images, we've taken spectra, we've made measurements of the surface of Mars for the last 50 years - InSight's been the first mission to shine a light beneath the surface of Mars and show us what the rest of the planet looks like."

Three African wild dogs have joined a pack at Whipsnade Zoo in a bid to breed the endangered species.

The three males, named Earl, Elvis and Einstein, arrived at the zoo in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, from West Midlands Safari Park on 1 February.

Staff hope the males will bond with sisters Beebee and Ginger and form a new pack.

Zookeeper Sarah McGregor said the two that "become the alpha male and female will be the only ones to have pups".

The team who studied the track after it was found in 2021 concluded it was made by giant carnivore like a Megalosaurus.

It is now set to go on display at the town's Rotunda Museum.

The footprint is the largest left by a theropod - a group of bipedal dinosaurs which also included Tyrannosaurus Rex - found to date in Yorkshire.

Dr Dean Lomax, a palaeontologist at the University of Manchester, said the "wonderful" discovery had shed new light on the behaviour of the carnivorous giants which once roamed the region's coast.

He added: "Features of the footprint may even suggest that this large predator was squatting down before standing up. It's fun to think this dinosaur might well have been strolling along a muddy coastal plain one lazy Sunday afternoon in the Jurassic."

Two big fossil teeth found at the site belong to an extinct human cousin, known as Paranthropus.

Scientists had previously thought that Oldowan tools, a kind of simple stone implement, were only used by ancestors of Homo Sapiens, a grouping that includes our species and our closest relatives.

However, no Homo Sapien fossils were found at the excavation site in Nyayanga on the Homa Peninsula in western Kenya.

It's worth emphasising that that the European Space Agency is not the European Union. They may share member states and cooperate on certain space projects, but they are distinct legal entities.

This is important for the UK, which, since 2020, has not been a part of the Brussels club.

London's delegation, headed by science minister George Freeman, comes to the GPE conference centre with its own objectives.

Britain has assembled a rover, called "Rosalind Franklin", to explore the surface of Mars. It's going to take about €700m to build the equipment needed to land it on the Red Planet, with €360m being requested at this meeting. Mr Freeman will be making a sizeable contribution to ensure the rover fulfils its mission.
