Many embedded applications (the for example in the Beagle2) are 
developed in Ada. Has someone more information on this?"

Yes, Beagle 2 has an ERC32 running at about 10 MHz (or it may be 8MHz).

Elsewhere in the mission...

The landing software could be construed to be an example of code reuse
because it is using Ada 83 code from the Huygens lander. However, Huygens
is not due to start entering Titan's atmosphere until long after its first
Martian heir gets into action.
