The Phoenix Mars Lander
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008HiRISE imaged the Phoenix landing site 11 and 22 hours after touchdown. These have been used by the Phoenix team to determine their precise location and orientation on Mars. More details and images are on our main page.
Kudos to everyone who helped make this happen, from the navigation team at JPL delivering updated files, to our operations people who spent many long hours over the holiday weekend busily at work. And congratulations to the Phoenix team here in Tucson, who have embarked on what promises to be an exciting summer of science operations!
