End of mission for NASA Mars Phoenix lander.
NASA announced today that its Mars lander Phoenix, is officially dead after five months and more than 25,000 images sent to earth. They said the cause of death is diminished sunlight due to seasonal change and consequently an absence of power source for its solar panels. NASA officials said the last signal received from the lander was on November 2.
Too bad that Joe the Plumber was not available sooner, busy he was trying to rescue another mission.
