About this work
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility, the Phoenix Mars Lander spacecraft is moved across the area toward the upper stage booster at right. The spacecraft and booster will be mated for launch. Targeted for launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Aug. 3, Phoenix will land in icy soils near the north polar permanent ice cap of Mars and explore the history of the water in these soils and any associated rocks, while monitoring polar climate.
