Some background info on this Canadian/Danish experiment on Phoenix Lander
The 350 kg Phoenix Lander carries a meteorological station to measure daily conditions on the arctic pole. The most visible part is a 1.1 meter meteo-mast on the deck of the lander. However an original wind indicator was eliminated from the design, the Canadian Space Agency together with the Aarhus University in Denmark constructed an 8 cm curved device called a “telltale” which holds a tiny wind indicator tube on a short Kevlar string. The telltale is observed by the stereoscopic camera system, aimed at a small mirror under the dangling target, to reveal wind movements. Thanks again for pointing it out in the photos taken so far!!!
