5 maio 2008 ano - The Phoenix Lander Decends on Mars

Descrição:

Phoenix is a robotic spacecraft on a space exploration mission on Mars under the Mars Scout Program, and was NASA's sixth out of seventh successful landing attempts. It is also the first successful landing in a Martian polar region. The lander completed its mission in August 2008, and made a last brief communication with Earth on November 2. After, the battery slowly ran out of energy as available solar power diminished with the Martian winter.
