NASA - Phoenix Probe Ready for Mars Mission - VOA Story

Uploaded by MyEarbot on Oct 5, 2007
Mars is a cold desert planet with no liquid water on its surface. But in the Martian arctic, water ice lurks just below ground level. Discoveries made by the Mars Odyssey Orbiter in 2002 show large amounts of subsurface water ice in the northern arctic plain. The Phoenix lander targets this circumpolar region using a robotic arm to dig through the protective top soil layer to the water ice below and ultimately, to bring both soil and water ice to the lander platform for sophisticated scientific analysis.
The complement of the Phoenix spacecraft and its scientific instruments are ideally suited to uncover clues to the geologic history and biological potential of the Martian arctic. Phoenix will be the first mission to return data from either polar region providing an important contribution to the overall Mars science strategy "Follow the Water" and will be instrumental in achieving the four science goals of NASA's long-term Mars Exploration Program.
--Determine whether Life ever arose on Mars
--Characterize the Climate of Mars
--Characterize the Geology of Mars
--Prepare for Human Exploration The Phoenix Mission has two bold objectives to support these goals, which are to (1) study the history of water in the Martian arctic and (2) search for evidence of a habitable zone and assess the biological potential of the ice-soil boundary.

they think they know what happened to the beagle2. Apparently they used an estimate to predict how quickly it needed to spin on entry rather than a more expensive simulation, and the result was a fried probe! Probably a brief shooting star in the marsian sky - a very expensive 50m pound one! That poor scientist was forced to go around cap in hand to business, because government wont fund any of it! The result was a waste of time! In times of wealth we had more thn enough cash to do it right.

I love the stoy of the Phoenix, the word Phoenix come from the the Ottoman Empire rich cultural life. Ottoman poetry was highly complex and sophisticated and was used to express all manner of things. There is a book translated by by Mehmet Kalpakli where is possible to read about the Phoenix leyend.
