Phoenix Mars Lander Status Report

Tasks en route to Mars include course tweak, gear checks, and activating the Canadian Meteorology Station.

NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander fired its four trajectory correction thrusters on Wednesday, October 24, for only the second time. The 45.9-second burn nudged the spacecraft just the right amount to put it on a course to arrive at the red planet in seven months' time. For more information
