Mars Spacecraft Successfully Lands On Mars
NASA’s Phoenix spacecraft has successfully touched down on Mars.
Phoenix will be the first spacecraft to study the arctic plains on Mars’ north pole. The craft has a robotic arm that will drill into the Martian ice and retrieve samples which will be analyzed and studied remotely from earth.
Scientists will try to determine if the permafrost has the ingredients needed for life to emerge.
