The Temporal Probe in this Mission has one of its Spawnpoints set behind a forcefield, making in unaccessable to the Player.
Screenshot of the Map (Mouse Over the Probe; Player directly infront of mentioned Forcefield):

This also happens to R&D nodes on the map. They sometimes spawn in Areas of the map which are completely sealed off by forcefields and therefor cannot be accessed by the Player

Confirmed, you can retry the mission and get a different spawn location. I just completed it myself. Thanks for the heads up.
However, this does not excuse the fact that one or more of the potential spawn locations are in inaccessible locations to players, that is sloppy and needs to be fixed.
If I had a nickel for every resource node in an inaccessible area...At least with temp probes they got
multiple spawn locations, resource nodes don't
Happened to me also, with the probe being in that same exact location as your screenshot.
On the bright side, there is no time limit on getting the temporal probes. So I can always go back in a few weeks, or months, and get it later. I'm not going to waste my time right now replaying/dropping the mission over and over in hopes the probe winds up in a location I can access.
So for me, it's not too big of a deal right now.
