Phoenix Mars Mission
Monday, 26 May 2008
The University of Arizona is honored to be the first public university to lead a mission to Mars. The Phoenix Mars Mission, scheduled to land May 25, 2008, is the first in NASA’s “Scout Program.” Scouts are designed to be highly innovative and relatively low-cost complements to major missions being planned as part of the agency’s Mars Exploration Program.
I’m actually following the entire mission progress on Twitter. It’s pretty neat that they are embracing and using new web services considering they are at the forefront of technology!
Update: Check out the mission homepage on NASA as well for more footage!
