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:

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.

Like many, I'm not so sad because I was not expecting any signal back from Phoenix...
The poor thing surely died during the winter sad.gif
My only interest is to see whether or not the solar panels have snapped off (or were bent) to the ground under the winter heavy ice load unsure.gif
I'm now waiting to see the next HiRise images...
