It was reported that Beagle 2 bounced off the atmosphere of mars and sailed off into deep space.

beagle 2 sorta crash landed

On December 31, 2003, it was reported that a crater was photographed in the center of the target landing site. It is possible that this could be the final resting place of Beagle 2, the craft unable to transmit from the shadow of the crater walls

your proberly thinking of the Mars Climate Orbiter

They think they've got a pretty good fix on it's positiong the only problem is the resolation
PS thats a picture of the crater they say

[orcot]

that's what you get if a brit say, lets send a probe to mars

[Ophiolite]

Orcot, it might pay you to investigate the 'success' of the majority of the Russian, Japanese, and a substantial number of the American Martian probes.

Mars Curse
The high failure rate of America's NASA and other nations' space agencies in their attempts to explore Mars has become known as the Mars Curse. See below for a full list of launch attempts to Mars.

By the spring of 2006, of 37 launch attempts to reach the planet, only 18 have succeeded. Eleven of the missions included attempts to land on the surface, but only six transmitted data once on the surface, and of those only one was non-American (Russian), which lost contact within 20 seconds of landing. Some suggest, mostly in jest, that there is actually some force trying to prevent or punish the exploration of Mars. The Galactic Ghoul is a fictional space monster that consumes Mars probes, a term coined in 1997 by Time Magazine journalist Donald Neff.[3][4][5]

yeah I know, no offence to the brits meant. But it does mean that there are many more probes to redescover on the martian surface
