Mars Scout Program
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mars Scout Program is a new NASA program of small, low-cost missions to Mars, selected from innovative proposals by the scientific community. The first planned mission in this program is "Phoenix", a lander originally intended for the cancelled Mars Surveyor mission. Phoenix is scheduled to be launched during August of 2007, and will land on the icy northern pole of the planet.
The second set of Scout missions are under review and projected to launch in 2011.
