What is the purpose of that green laser?
 Edit: OK I have find out! It's a part of meteorological Station (MET) -------------------- The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.

Basically LIDAR for measuring ice and dust loading at various altitudes. The Martian CFDS will have something to say about it I'm sure  Doug |

Why does this vehicle remind me so much of Mars Polar Lander ?

Phoenix is in alot of ways alot like MPL. Seeing the decent video made me understand exactly what it was that I found in the VL-2 picture, the backshell. It's the same sequence as the viking landers really, there isn't that much difference at all in the decent sequence (It does become different for the airbag rovers (And pathfinder) and skycrane MSL, but most other things are quite similar...

Since the first post in this thread mentioned it, I still can't find the MSL EDL video in high def. Anybody have a link to this?

Recommend going to the root site for those of us with older computers and/or slow connections...highest-res version is 320 Mb
 ... there are smaller versions available.

Thanks, I have that link. I was asking about a high-def version of the MSL EDL video which appeared on YouTube.

That is the original MSL EDL video on youtube which had been there since late last year. The high-def version (and more) appeared on JPL's website just last week --
