| Description |
This image shows a polygonal pattern in the ground near NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander, similar in appearance to icy ground in the arctic regions of Earth. Phoenix was confirmed to have touched down on the Red Planet at 22:53 GMT, 25 May, 2008, in an arctic region called Vastitas Borealis, at 68 degrees north latitude, 234 degrees east longitude. This is an approximate-colour image taken shortly after landing by the spacecraft's Surface Stereo Imager, inferred from two colour filters, a violet, 450-nanometre filter and an infrared, 750-nanometre filter. The Phoenix Mission is led by the University of Arizona, Tucson, on behalf of NASA. Project management of the mission is by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. Spacecraft development is by Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver. |
