phoenix lander

NASA - Phoenix

picture of the lander trying for a second time to get some tests out of the soil.

first attempt failed. soil was to clumpy and the sensors didnt pick up and particles that went through the screen after it was shaken.

this mini vid shows the arm sprinkling the soil on to the screen now instead of just dumping clobs of soil on the the screen.....should know something within a day or 2

fascinating stuff right there

Going to be interesting to see what comes out of this all. I think it's awfully exciting to think of the potential history that little box is digging up out there.
