  • Phoenix Mars Lander Extending Trench |
    UANews | Scientists want a larger patch of Mars' hard subsurface for taking samples of ice-rich soil.    |
  • Phoenix Mars Lander Uses Soil Probe and Swiss Scope |
    UANews | Phoenix has sent back the first atomic force microscope image taken on another planet. |
  • Orbiting HiRISE Camera Saw Phoenix Heat Shield in Freefall |
    UANews | Scientists have processed more details in an amazing image the camera captured as the Phoenix spacecraft descended through the Mars atmosphere. |
  • Sample-Collection Tests by Phoenix Lander Continue |
    UANews | Scraping Mars' hard surface is like scraping a sidewalk. |
  • Phoenix Lander Delivers Soil-Chemistry Sample |
    UANews | Phoenix used its robotic arm to deliver a second sample of soil for analysis by the spacecraft's wet chemistry laboratory. Test results will be compared to those from the first Martian soil sample analyzed two weeks ago. |
  • Phoenix to Bake Ice-Rich Soil Next Week |
    UANews | Scientists will carefully select and deliver the sample because it could be the last one baked. |
  • Phoenix Scrapes 'Almost Perfect' Icy Soil for Analysis |
    UANews | Samples hold clues to history of Martian water, climate and possible habitability. |
  • Phoenix Scrapes to Icy Soil in Wonderland |
    UANews | The "Snow White" trench is ideal for sampling top to bottom. |
  • Phoenix Lander Puts Soil in Chemistry Lab, Team Discusses Next Steps |
    UANews | Phoenix placed a sample of Martian soil in the spacecraft's wet chemistry laboratory today for the first time. |
  • Phoenix Poised to Deliver Sample for Wet Chemistry |
    UANews | Phoenix is set to do the first wet chemistry test of polar Martian soil. |
  • Phoenix Lander Prepares for Microscopy, Wet Chemistry on Mars |
    UANews | The lander performed a diagnostic test that melted Earth ice to water. |
  • Frozen Water Confirmed on Mars |
    UANews | The Phoenix Mars Lander has confirmed the presence of frozen water on Mars.  |
  • Bright Chunks at Phoenix Lander’s Mars Site Must Have Been Ice |
    UANews | Using a series of images taken from the lander's site on Mars, the science team has determined that chunks seen in a photo must have been ice. |
  • Phoenix Makes First Trench in Science Preserve |
    UANews | The lander scooped up a piece of 'Wonderland.' |
  • NASA's Mars Lander to Dig, Team Probes Flash Memory |
    UANews | As a precaution, science data won't be stored on the spacecraft overnight. | |
