About this work

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility, workers secure the upper canister to the lower segments surrounding the Phoenix Mars Lander. After the canning, the Phoenix will be transferred to Launch Pad 17-A on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida for launch 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.
