Phoenix Mosaic: 9 Jun 2008 Cover for Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine
Pay Dirt: Phoenix Hits its Icy Target For this thrilling and superb science mission to the Martian arctic, we (mars loon and dilo) are pleased and humbled to present a simple false color mosaic we constructed of a Phoenix footpad and the "snow queen" feature uncovered during landing. The mosaic is featured as part of the Phoenix cover package for the new 9 June 2008 issue of AWST magazine Find the cover and article segment at the AWST website here: http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/ http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/sto...20Polar%20Plain Phoenix Imagery Reveals North Polar Plain By Craig Covault The Phoenix lander sits near the North Pole of Mars directly on top of exposed water ice that it was prepared to dig for weeks to find. The mission goal is to unravel the mysteries of what may be preserved inside the ice and surrounding soil. .... ----- Our tribute to honor the fantastic efforts of the brilliant Phoenix Team ! led by Scientific Principal Investigator Peter Smith at the University of Arizona Here is the cover and mosaic: Ken Kremer and Marco Di Lorenzo using robotic arm camera imagery from NASA/JPL/University of Arizona/Max Planck Institute |
