Phoenix nears touchdown

May 10 2008

Nine-plus months since departing the Earth, the Phoenix Mars Lander is nearing touchdown on the Red Planet. The powered-descent lander is due to land near Mars' north polar region on May 25 at 7:53pm EDT Earth-receive time.


The Shuttle Discovery is then due to lift off May 31 on STS-124 with Kibo.
