Mars Phoenix Lander to Touch Mars on Sunday

Humans have reached mars and are now exploring it for different research purposes. The latest $420 million dollars Mars Phoenix Lander is expected to touch the Mar’s North pole on sunday if all the landing sequences went perfectly as planned. In case anything went wrong, the ten months old mission will fail and the research on the geography of Mars will seriously suffer.

A Detail story is available below on the Site of National Geographic. After years of planning followed by a ten-month journey, the Mars Phoenix Lander is slated to touch down Sunday near the red planet’s north pole.
