NASA Selects Landing Site for Phoenix Mars Lander
earlier this week, nasa made a ambit adjustment for its phoenix mars lander which puts it on a path to come in “green valley” on the red planet late next month. the site was chosen for being a broad, flat expanse that is relatively free of rocks capable of damaging the lander when it sets down. the unearthing want be confirmed pending fresh reconnoitring from an orbiting satellite. the probe’s mission, which we’ve previously discussed, is to explore subsurface ice. “the docking area is an ellipse relative to 62 miles by about 12 miles (100 kilometers by 20 kilometers). researchers have mapped more than five million rocks in and around that ellipse, each big enough to end the mission if rush by the spacecraft during landing. knowing where to avoid the rockier areas, the team has selected a scientifically exciting object that also offers the best chances for the spacecraft to set itself down safely onto the martian surface.”
