The Phoenix Mars Mission, scheduled to launch in August 2007, will end up on the northern pole of Mars in May 2008. As with the mythical Egyptian bird of the same name, the Phoenix had to regenerate itself after confronting previous mission cancellations, cost overruns, and unexpected rough terrain at its landing site. Scientists are hopeful that Phoenix will discover the history of water-ice on Mars.
