Scientists with NASA`s IceBite project are heading this week for University Valley, a hanging valley perched more than 1600 feet (more than 1 mile) above sea level in Antarctica`s McMurdo Dry Valleys. Their objective: to test a set of ice-penetrating drills and select one for use on a future mission to the martian polar north, the same region of the planet that NASA`s Phoenix lander investigated in 2008. http://www.physorg.com/news177613575.html Space & Earth Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:07:23 EST news177613575 (PhysOrg.com) -- Salty, liquid water has been detected on a leg of the Mars Phoenix Lander and therefore could be present at other locations on the planet, according to analysis by a group of mission scientists led by a University of Michigan professor. This is the first time liquid water has been detected and photographed outside the Earth. http://www.physorg.com/news156526578.html Space & Earth Tue, 17 Mar 2009 16:36:48 EST news156526578 (PhysOrg.com) -- Carlos Lange has some sentimental thoughts about the shut down of the Phoenix Mars Lander, but science never sleeps and he's set his sights on a new mission to the Red Planet. http://www.physorg.com/news146234489.html Space & Earth Tue, 18 Nov 2008 12:41:29 EST news146234489 (PhysOrg.com) -- NASA'S Phoenix Mars Lander, with its solar-electric power shrinking due to shorter daylight hours and a dust storm, did not respond to an orbiter's attempt to communicate with it Wednesday night and Thursday morning. http://www.physorg.com/news144607044.html Space & Earth Thu, 30 Oct 2008 17:37:24 EST news144607044 (PhysOrg.com) -- As fall approaches Mars' northern plains, NASA's Phoenix Lander is busy digging into the Red Planet's soil and scooping it into its onboard science laboratories for analysis. http://www.physorg.com/news142785747.html Space & Earth Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:42:27 EST news142785747 (PhysOrg.com) -- If the robotic arm on NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander can nudge a rock aside today, scientists on the Phoenix team would like to see what's underneath. http://www.physorg.com/news141320965.html Space & Earth Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:49:25 EST news141320965
