Since there will be a press briefing today at 11 am PDT / 1800 UT it seems like a good time to start a fresh Phoenix thread. Phoenix hasn't gotten that icy sample yet but they do seem to have overcome their concerns about using TEGA so it looks likely we'll see a lot more sample acquisitions and deliveries in the coming weeks.

Press briefing will be on NASA TV: http://www.nasa.gov/ntv on both public and media channels. Here's that higher-bitrate stream on Yahoo: http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/nasa/index.html

O_o if the ice is breaking up like that, what are the odds of scooping some of it up?

Ice cream, straight of the freezer, is hard to scoop up, but leave it out a while and it gets warmer and easier to carve into.
(perhaps not the best of analogies, lolol, I don't even like ice cream).

Is it's position under the lander going to make acquiring it difficult/impossible? Or would you not want to anyway for reasons of contamination when Phoenix landed?
