In the North Polar region of Mars
Do huge quantities of water ice
lie hidden just below the surface?
Could the Martian Arctic
Provide a habitat for life?
Aug 2007
NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander
Heads off to investigate
A harrowing descent
A picture-perfect landing
An incredible mission
The final descent as seen from above
One foot in the soil
New views of Mars
Land of the Midnight Sun
Tracking martian weather patterns
Digging deeper
Soil traits favorable for life
Water ice confirmed
Frost deposits as winter sets in
As winter sets in
Mountains of data for scientists to mine
For clues about habitats on Mars
Farewell, Phoenix and thank you
