There are lots of conflicting reports on this one regarding how long they have to sort it's problem and maybe get it on its way to Mars, how long it has power for ( some say its batteries will only last a couple of days, some say its solar powered so no issue, some say its solar panels can't be deployed until after the Mars insertion burn ).
If it does come down, it could be bad as it has rather a lot of toxic hypergolic fuel onboard
