A new NASA mission will study water history and habitability at the north pole of Mars.
The Phoenix Mission will land in the northern polar region of Mars in May 25, 2008 and stretch out an instrumented arm to dig into the soil and ice. By studying the structure, composition, and chemistry of soil and ice samples within Phoenix's trench, scientists hope to learn about the history of water on Mars and the potential for biologic activity to take place there.
