PHOE-SOL142-PhoenixHolyCowMosaicAPOD.jpgHoly Cow! - Sol 142 (possible True Colors; credits: Marco Di Lorenzo and Kenneth Kremer)54 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day", del giorno 12 Novembre 2008:"The Northern Martian Summer is waning. As predicted, a decline in daylight hours, deteriorating weather, and dust storms are preventing solar arrays on the Phoenix Mars Lander from providing power. Phoenix's last signal was received on November 2, its successful mission ending after more than 5 months in the Arctic Region of the Red Planet, a run that exceeded its planned operational lifetime. Attempting to discover if Mars' Surface has ever been able to support microbial life, Phoenix performed an extensive analysis of the soil and returned a wealth of image data. Of course, one of the lander's most exciting results was the detection of water-ice near the Martian Surface.
Recorded in October, this picture from the Lander's Robotic Arm Camera shows the region under the Phoenix with flat, exposed icy patches. That area caused researchers to exclaim "Holy Cow!" (in Italiano: "Caspita!") when it was first imaged a few days after the May 25 touchdown of the Phoenix Mars Lander".MareKromiumNov 12, 2008

PHOE-SOL151-lg_42523.jpgLast Frame from Phoenix: End of Transmissions... - Sol 151 (possible True Colors; credits: Lunexit)59 visiteNovember 10, 2008 -- NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander has ceased communications after operating for more than 5 months. As anticipated, seasonal decline in sunshine at the robot's Arctic Landing Site is not providing enough sunlight for the solar arrays to collect the power necessary to charge batteries that operate the lander's instruments.
Mission engineers last received a signal from the lander on Nov. 2. Phoenix, in addition to shorter daylight, has encountered a dustier sky, more clouds and colder temperatures as the Northern Mars Summer approaches Autumn. The mission exceeded its planned operational life of 3 months to conduct and return science data.
The Project Team will be listening carefully during the next few weeks to hear if Phoenix revives and phones home. However, engineers now believe that is unlikely because of the worsening weather conditions on Mars.
While the Spacecraft's work has ended, the analysis of data from the instruments is in its earliest stages.
Nell'immagine: il cielo cupo e sempre più scuro che sovrasta Phoenix, come ripreso intorno alle ore 15:30, M.L.T. e colorizzato da Lunexit in possibli Colori Veri (e nel rispetto della Regola Aurea che vuole il Cielo prossimo all'Orizzonte Marziano più chiaro e poi sempre più scuro a mano a mano che si alza lo sguardo).MareKromiumNov 12, 2008

PHOE-SOL145-PIA11383.jpgThe "Trenches" - Sol 145 (False Colors; credits: NASA)54 visite...Tanto per far vedere la "differenza" fra il processing NASA e quello Lunexit...
Caption NASA:"The Surface Stereo Imager on NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander took this false color image on Oct. 21, 2008, during the 145th Martian Day, or Sol, since landing. The bluish-white areas seen in these trenches are part of an ice layer beneath the soil.
The trench on the upper left, called "Dodo-Goldilocks", is about 38 cm (15") long and 4 cm (1,5") deep.
The trench on the right, called "Upper Cupboard", is about 60 cm (24") long and 3 cm (1") deep. The trench in the lower middle is called "Stone Soup".MareKromiumOtt 30, 2008
