I challenge you not to look at this and make a ping/spring/boing happy sort of a noise.

"NASA has tentatively scheduled a "mid-course" status report on the Phoenix mission July 31, when results of the latest TEGA run may be announced and new images released. The Phoenix team has asked for an extension of the nominal 92-sol (92 Earth-day) mission, and the outcome of that request may be revealed as well."
