Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by LCDR Scott Schneeweis: [B]Preparations for a May 25th landing on Mars: Science Daily: [URL=http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/04/080415134614.htm]NASA Spacecraft Fine Tunes Course For Mars Landing[/URL] <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]NASA engineers have adjusted the flight path of the Phoenix Mars Lander, setting the spacecraft on course for its May 25 landing on the Red Planet. "This is our first trajectory maneuver targeting a specific location in the northern polar region of Mars," said Brian Portock, chief of the Phoenix navigation team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. The mission's two prior trajectory maneuvers, made last August and October, adjusted the flight path of Phoenix to intersect with Mars. NASA has conditionally approved a landing site in a broad, flat valley informally called "Green Valley." A final decision will be made after NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter takes additional images of the area this month.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
