Phoenix on Mars: First Images from the Phoenix Mars Lander in the Martian Arctic

Just Dropped In (to See What Condition My Condition Was In)

NASA's Mars Phoenix Lander can be seen parachuting down to Mars, in this image captured by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on May 25, 2008. This is the first time that a spacecraft has imaged the final descent of another spacecraft onto a planetary body
