13 March 2011 - A Mars Panorama from the Phoenix Lander
The Phoenix lander was designed to study the history of water and habitability potential of Mars.This panoramic, 360 degree image combines 100 distinct photos.The probe used solar panels to maintain energy levels and dug trenches to analyze the soil. The lander descended near the North Pole to search for signs of life. The existence of subterranean ice and perchlorate salts has been confirmed. This is a very exciting time as we attempt to delve deeper into the history of Mars.
