Sol 150 raws are up so this seems like a good time to start a new thread...
Hang on in there Phoenix... -------------------- |

Not to be a pessimist now that Phoenix is not doing quite well - just thinking of further discoveries that can be done with Phoenix, I wonder how will the EDL hardware look in the spring in hirise images. I guess it will be a reference in the search for MPL.
And just out of curiosity, in the very (very) unlikely case of Phoenix actually surviving the winter, will there be a new mission extension? Andrei -------------------- If you see me posting monday to friday between 8 a.m. CET and 6 p.m. CET, chances are I'm at work... not doing my job!
If you see me posting outside this interval, chances are I'm at home... and should really be working for my PhD! |

That sounds very very bad. But it's been a great mission to watch, and I eagerly await the science to follow after the data is analyzed fully.
 It also sounds like the batteries were not able to be fully charged. Did the commands to turn off the heaters ever work ? |
