Doug just said in another thread that he was looking for Phoenix in the new images and couldn't find it. Well, I love a challenge. So here it is:
Close-up: (REMOVED - SEE LATER POST) Context: (REMOVED - SEE LATER POST) Note that map-projected HiRISE images at this latitude are in polar stereographic projection, not a cylindrical projection. North is at the left. You might not believe this, but by blinking layers like Clyde Tombaugh I think I can match numerous points, not just the hardware. EDIT: I was a bit off. Correct locations are shown below. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Are there any thoughts on making a lander, or perhaps rover, winter-survivable? Larger batteries with an integrated cutoff at mid-charge to survive a freezing? Solar panel petals on the ground, a la Beagle?
