Phoenix Heads for Mars, Spacecraft Healthy

The Phoenix spacecraft has separated from the Delta II rocket and ground controllers at NASA's Deep Space Network have acquired its signal and begun assessing its health. The solar panels that will power the mission's cruise phase will be deployed and Phoenix will be pointed to best receive solar power and communicate with Earth.

The spacecraft has oriented itself to the sun as it was programmed to do. It will use solar panels to generate electricity during the nine-month coast to Mars. A separate set of solar arrays is attached to the lander itself.

  • uuum are you Russian cause you seem jealous

  • ...lol?

  • Why are the outboard engines vectored outward, and which engine provides stability for the rocket?

  • To be fair, the exact meaning of those abbreviations apparently depends on which LV provider uses it. Your Atlas reference was also correct, just not in this particular context - a Delta II launch.

  • Ooops. My bad. I guess that's what happens when you get real old, your brain goes spongeform and ancient memories of early Atlas launches take over...

  • In this context, SECO means Second Engine Cut-Off, meaning 2nd stage shutdown. MECO would be 1st stage shutdown-

  • this is fake! The rocket is clearly plastic and you can see the wires!
