Too much spin caused Mars probe Schiaparelli crash, experts say

Investigation concludes 'unexpected high rotation' caused probe to plunge to its destruction, hitting Mars surface at estimated 335mph

An electronic dizzy spell caused by spinning too fast led the European Space Agency (Esa) probe Schiaparelli to crash land on Mars, an investigation has concluded.

Scientists said three minutes after entering the Martian atmosphere, "unexpected high rotation" resulted in "saturation" of an instrument in the craft tracking spin rate.
