Nineteen more listening overflights are planned this week, and additional attempts in February and March. The attempts are being made because of the unlikely scenario that Phoenix has survived Martian arctic winter conditions the spacecraft was never designed to withstand. Phoenix landed on Mars on May 25, 2008, and operated su ... read more |
