NASA ends effort to reach Phoenix Mars Lander
[ Mon, 24 May 2010 22:48:38 GMT ]

Two images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show the Phoenix Mars Lander. The left photo, from 2008, shows two bluish shots on either side corresponding to the probe's solar panels. The right photo, from 2010, shows a dark shadow that could mark the lander body and eastern solar panel. However, the image appears to lack a shadow from the western solar panel.NASA has ended efforts to regain contact with its Phoenix Mars Lander near the Red Planet's north pole.
