    UANews | Never before have humans seen Mars surface particles so greatly magnified. |
  • Phoenix Mars Lander Delivers Soil Sample to Microscope |
    UANews | In the next day or two, the Phoenix team will tell the robotic arm to dig deeper to determine the depth to an underlying layer of hard material that may be ice. |
  • NASA's Phoenix Lander Has an Oven Full of Martian Soil |
    UANews | The ground moved, and the oven filled in 10 seconds. |
  • NASA Lander Will Sprinkle Martian Soil for Microscope to View |
    UANews | Having mastered a technique to sprinkle rather than dump soil samples, Phoenix will place the soil under a microscope for analysis. |
  • Phoenix Mars Lander Testing Sprinkle Technique |
    UANews | Phoenix mission engineers will test a better way to deliver clumpy Martian soil to lander instruments. |
  • Phoenix Sifts For Samples, Continues Imaging Landing Site |
    UANews | The operations team today sent commands to shake soil into an oven. |
  • NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander Checking Soil Properties |
    UANews | Soil rests on screen over open delivery door. |

    UANews | Phoenix's instruments are checked out and ready for science. |
  • Highest Resolution View Ever From Mars Comes From Phoenix Lander |
    UANews | The Phoenix microscope can see particles one-tenth the diameter of a human hair. |
  • Third Scoop is a Keeper for Phoenix Mars Lander |
    UANews | The lander sits on soil and a subsurface layer that's possibly salt, possibly ice. |
  • Phoenix Team Retesting Scoop's Release of Martian Soil |
    UANews | The Phoenix operations team will do one more test dig on Mars. |
  • Phoenix Scoops Up Martian Soil |
    UANews | One week after landing, the lander practices its first dig. |
