If you haven't found out already, the Phoenix spacecraft is scheduled to land this Sunday, May 25, 2008 on Mars. So what exactly is the Phoenix spacecraft and mission? Basically, the Phoenix spacecraft is a lander, that will land on Mars and, using...
- Mars Exploration Rover Mission In Possible Danger
A huge dust storm on Mars, covering the southern hemisphere of Mars almost completely, has put the future of the Mars Exploration Rovers Mission in danger. A smaller dust storm has also appeared elsewhere on Mars, adding further danger. The largest dust...
- Mars Missions Have Entered A 15 Day 'blackout' Phase
NASA's different Mars missions along with ISRO's Mars orbiter mission [MOM] have entered a 15 day Blackout phase when no proper communication can be made between the mission control and their respected missions. From June 7 to June 21, the satellites and...

Mars orbiter imagery boosts Curiosity rover's life search
NASA and university scientists reviewing data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) say evidence is growing that the planet harbored life in its past or that Martian microbes exist now.
They say their views are based on the growing body of data on the diversity of water related minerals discovered by MRO. It is also supported by findings from other spacecraft such as Europe's Mars Express orbiter and NASA's Phoenix lander and twin Mars rovers.
The MRO data is being used to narrow the best sites to locate life related evidence, while also being safe enough for the Mars Science Laboratory rover "Curiosity" set for launch in 2011.
