NASA's next Mars mission will look beneath a frigid arctic landscape
for
conditions favorable to past or present life. Instead of roving
to hills or craters,
NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander will claw down into
the icy soil of the Red Planet's
northern plains. The robot will
investigate whether frozen water near the Martian
surface might
periodically melt enough to sustain a livable environment for
microbes.
To accomplish that and other key goals, Phoenix will carry
a set of advanced research tools never before used on
Mars.
