Jessie Atkin posted a blog up on Digital Landing about the Phoenix Lander sent up by NASA.
After far more than the planned 90 days the Mars Phoenix Lander has seen it’s last martian sunrise.
After seeing everything from red dust to ice and snow . The lander has at last run out of its last drop of power and is now frozen on the red planet, just like the ice it dug up so many weeks ago. The Landers mission was successful for the most part, detecting water, observing weather, and doing a whole number of other experiments. A mission set to last only 90 days lasted nearly 60 more, and that’s a pretty big success as NASA missions go.
We’ve reached Mars by Phoenix, so when will we reach it with men?
