Fantastic news. Hope pretty pictures are on the way soon.NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander has apparently survived the fiery plunge through the Martian atmosphere and landed on the red planet's arctic plains, with mission scientists eagerly awaiting word on the health of the spacecraft.
The spacecraft touched down in the Vastitas Borealis plains within the Martian arctic circle, where it is slated to spend at least three months searching for water ice hidden away below the frozen surface.
Mission scientists here at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) received the signal that Phoenix had landed at around 7:53 p.m. EDT (2353 GMT) today. (The probe's signals take about 15 minutes to traverse the 171 million miles (275 million km) between Mars and listening stations back on Earth.)
