Mars mission braces for cold

2008-09-19 08:28

Los Angeles - Nasa is extending the Phoenix Mars mission again.

The three-legged spacecraft has been digging trenches near the Martian north pole since landing on May 25 to study whether the site could have been favourable for microbial life to emerge.

Nasa spokesperson Dwayne Brown said on Thursday the space agency will invest about $6m to keep the $422m mission going.

It's the second and possibly last extension since the lander may not survive the upcoming Martian winter.

Phoenix is the first craft to touch Martian ice with its robotic arm. It will turn into a weather station in the extended phase.

RatexZa says... Not that I agree with any of this, but it does give me more respect for Islam, as Christians will never go that far when our God gets insulted. That statement was not nearly as bad as what's been said about Christ in the past. We Christians have learnt to roll with the punches, instead of handing them out :( Read the article...
