After a couple of days of playing in the dirt, the Phoenix Mars lander is to begin its scientific work in earnest on Tuesday or Wednesday, looking for ice and hints of past liquid water in the planet's far north. (article 3)
The scoop on the Phoenix's 7.7-foot-long robotic arm will dig three trenches side by side and carry the dirt samples to instruments on the lander. (article 3)
Either way, the Phoenix will begin digging up and analyzing Martian material, perhaps next week, in its search for ancient water and organic chemicals that might point to signs of long-ago life. (article 2)
After a dramatic deceleration through Mars's thin atmosphere that ended with a gentle landing in welcoming rock-free terrain, NASA's Phoenix mission now stands ready to go to work. (article 7)
" Everything just worked like a charm says Barry Goldstein which ran mission control for the landing. (article 7)
Within a week, Phoenix will start to satisfy the curiosity of scientists who have been waiting since 1999 to sample Mars's subsurface ice for organic molecules and signs of recent thawing. (article 7)
