NASA’s Phoenix Makes Final Approach For Mars Landing
May 14, 2008
Orlando (dbTechno) - The NASA Phoenix Mars Lander is just about ready to make its landing on the red planet, Mars. The touch-down is set for May 25th.
In just over a week, the NASA Phoenix Mars Lander will make its touch-down on Mars in its Arctic region.
The Phoenix is already on its final approach to the red planet, with NASA saying it will land in the red planet’s Arctic zone.
Phoenix will be going along at 13,000 mph once it crosses into the Mars atmosphere.
From there, it will have to slow down to 5 mph in a matter of under 8 minutes in order to land on three legs and go along safely.
The hope is that the NASA Phoenix Mars Lander will be able to study the history of water in the Mars arctic.
They will also be searching for any sign of habitable zones, the biological history of Mars, and more.
